It\u2019s tough to find anyone who has anything negative to say about Washington Commanders rookie cornerback Mike Sainristil.<\/p>\n
After he was drafted on Friday, legendary head coach Nick Saban called Sainristil probably \u201cthe best pound-for-pound player in college football\u201d last season. Saban should know as Sainristil\u2019s Wolverines defeated Alabama 27-20 in the Rose Bowl. Sainristil had six tackles in the game.<\/p>\n
The Wolverines played the Washington Huskies in the national championship game the following week, winning 34-13.<\/p>\n
In that game, Sainristil was matched up with Washington wide receiver Jalen McMillan. Sainristil made a believer out of McMillan, too.<\/p>\n
McMillan, a third-round pick of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week, had high praise for Sainristil.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was pissing me off all game,\u201d McMillan said at the NFL combine last month, per\u00a0Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was calling out formations, calling out routes we were gonna run, lining up in zone \u2014 when, in reality, he was in man \u2014 and lining up in man \u2026 while in zone. He\u2019s a great player.\u201d<\/p>\n
On Friday, the Commanders selected Sainristil at No. 50 overall, and he figures to start on Day 1 as Washington\u2019s slot cornerback.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
