After a recent practice, veteran receiver Deebo Samuel worked out with young cornerback Mike Sainristil to refine skills crucial for defensive play. Samuel demonstrated various receiver techniques to help Sainristil improve his responses and reactions, symbolizing the Commanders' aspirations of blending youthful talent with experienced guidance. Sainristil expressed admiration for Samuel’s work ethic and desire to learn, indicating a positive team culture focused on growth and preparation for competitive success as the season progresses.
One big focus was refining how to stick to receivers who use an outside release to set up an inside route.
Sainristil has seen such moves before, of course, but he wanted to see them again and again so his reactions would become automatic.
He's a guy that loves extra work, loves football, loves to win. So, any way I can pick his brain about what receivers do to help myself, I'm going to do exactly that.
You would've thought he's been here the past five years of his career the way he's adjusted.
