"General manager Adam Peters thought highly of Sinnott, taking him at No. 53 overall in the 2024 NFL Draft. He has a decent college career at Kansas State, and the athletic intangibles suggested he could become a well-rounded tight end in the pros with some extra refinement. Sinnott's been an afterthought for the best part of two years. He always makes the most of his chances, but something was keeping offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury from getting him heavily involved."
"There was a lot to like about Sinnott's blocking on running plays. He got to the second level quickly and efficiently, plowing the lanes needed for running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt to have his best game in months. This became an undeniable positive, but Kingsbury didn't dial up any passing-game targets. That changed late in the contest. On a 2nd-and-10 with a need to ice the game just before the two-minute warning, Sinnott's number was finally called."
Zach Ertz suffered a season-ending torn ACL, creating an opportunity for Ben Sinnott, the Commanders' 2024 second-round pick. Sinnott, a Kansas State product with notable athletic intangibles and a decent college résumé, had been underused for much of two years. Week 15 without Ertz saw his snap percentage jump to 56.7%. Sinnott excelled as a run blocker, reaching the second level and opening lanes for Jacory Croskey-Merritt. Passing-action targets were limited until late in the game, when Marcus Mariota connected with Sinnott for a 36-yard gain. The Commanders can reasonably increase Sinnott's role over the remaining games.
