The Washington Commanders needed someone else to step up after losing veteran tight end Zach Ertz to a season-ending torn ACL. Most fans thought this would be a perfect opportunity to see what 2024 second-round pick Ben Sinnott could do with more involvement.
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.
