Why BEN SINNOTT Was the CRAZIEST PICK of the Draft (His Insane Rise)

At one point, Ben Sinnott was a zero star walk on recruit from Iowa, but flash forward a few years and he was just taken in the second round by the Washington Commanders. How the heck did that happen? Today, we are going to talk about the crazy journey of Ben Sinnott, his star studded Kansas State career and how he fits with Washington, enjoy!

I am going to be biased. I would love to see videos on 3 more Commanders rookies: DL Johnny Newton who was considered a steal in the 2nd round!; WR Luke McCaffrey, Ed's other son, and Christian's brother; and LB Jordan Magee, picked in the 5th round who is one of my friend's cousins! LOL! But he did receive an A+ grade from CBS Sports.

Sinnott is my favorite Commanders draft pick. He has a high learning curve ahead but I think he is up to the challenge.

[@obitronshinobi8163]

Life long Commanders fan and I have been screaming from the mountain tops for the team to draft a TE in the the first 3 rounds since Jordan Reed left. Sinnot seems like the real deal and I'm ecstatic he's a Commander.

[@freeshabazz8033]

Looks like a real ball buster!!! Can’t wait to see him on the field!! Hail!!

[@ChristopherBingham-xx8xl]

The Commanders really needed a tight end. This is a great pick

[@OmahaRiverDonkey]

Him and McCaffrey will be gadget guys like Juszczyk, Kittle and Deebo, playing all over the place causing matchup problems. I think Ertz will be our traditional TE.

[@ChristopherBingham-xx8xl]

@@OmahaRiverDonkey Ertz has been past his prime for a long time. We need Sinnott to be our traditional tight end.

[@jimbobmcdougal6983]

We still have to analyze Bates, Rodgers, and Turner. Not saying any of those guys should be TE1 but we got time to figure it out.

[@shawnadams1460]

The kid will need some time to adjust to the NFL, but the tallent is there, the drive is there, and his nose for getting open in weak zone like defenses is there. I really REALLY like this pick. I know most people think Zack Etrz is washed up, but I think there is a TON of great information he can impart on this young man. HTTC!!!

[@tristramcoffin926]

Ben interviewed with Grant and Danny today on 106.7 The Fan. Subsequently, they uploaded the interview on YT. It is worth checking out. I am a Redskins fan and appreciate the deep dive you did on Ben Sinnott. Thank you.

[@sheldor5312]

Met the dude today at a kids camp in Fort Leavenworth KS. Told him that my father passed away 2 weeks ago and my grandfather passed 10 years ago but we’ve been K State fans for 90 years including grandpa. Told him that “you embody everything that is KSU football” a walk on that makes it to the NFL. Best of luck but I was begging for the Chiefs to draft him. He said “lt was close brother, they called me and said if I was still there they were going to draft me”. If only.

[@jedwing]

Adversity to overcome. Work ethic to develop. Multisport athlete. Performed and competed well despite the score. This is a quality pick. Mental toughness and work ethic, listening to coaches and measuring up to challenges: these are the traits that make for a good pro.

[@RCBLLC]

Great video! As a long time Commanders fan I loved this pick.

[@dscorp45]

I am a Commanders fan. I am excited for him. I hope to draft him in fantasy too.

[@easyyeye]

I love this pick!! Best offenses in the league have a FB. And he’s able to play FB along with TE

[@jamesabc372]

That's probably a H back.

[@TonytheZealot]

Look at Avery Johnson, Kstate’s new sophomore qb. I personally believe he has a good shot at heisman

[@coltonwheeler4386]

I remember seeing this kid in the Kansas/Oklahoma shootout 2 or 3 years ago. Had like 100 yards on 3 or 4 catches or some shit and had some awesome blocks. Hopefully he can bring that energy here! Stay healthy grind hard young man

He can be used in so many ways. He is a swiss army knife. Blocking is also a strong point! GO Cats

He will be the next Chris Cooley for the commanders

[@spunkush]

Cooley called him his Doppelganger

[@MattMuas97]

Ben Sinnott is going into a room that’s wide open. Zach Ertz will probably start early on, but Sinnott will probably take over. Idk if you can trust Bates or Turner enough. I know year 3 is usually the breakout for TEs.

[@brandoncrittenden3939]

Cole Turner is way more athletic than this guy. Way more. I think Kliff will be able to get the stud to show in Cole Turner

[@jakegaming818]

​@brandoncrittenden3939 lol bro, I just looked at their athletic scores and can not find a single line that Sinnott isn't better than Cole in... except for height. Otherwise, I'm not seeing any evidence to.back your claim. Personally, I've always like Cole, and I'd be thrilled if BOTH pan out and fight for playing time. Good problem to have imo! Also, 2 Te sets are a rookie qbs friend... fully expect to see both lined up fairly regularly

[@ronaldtrunk7944]

I dont like the Jayden pick. But I like this pick alot

[@DCBIGOSO]

Great video, very informative. But I must push back on your comment about Washington having trouble developing the TE position. We've had a generous amount of good to great TEs come through these doors. Logan Thomas was a good one when he was healthy. Jordan Reed was another one and Chris Cooley, who by the way I like comparing Sinnot to.

[@BurgersforBreakfast127]

"Every game he ever played in was a breakout perfomance" according to narrator.

[@JXR-MUSIC]

"all set to go across the country to south dakota" is wild thats like 4 hours from waterloo

[@amstel5468]

How bout a video about Polk and Baker..

[@stebo5562]

Kansas state actually had him listed as a fullback

[@Veretax]

He doesn't have some of the freak plays of say Gronk or Kelce, but he is always there when needed it felt like. People are comparing him to HBack TE types like Chris Cooley.

[@kenmcardle7880]

This kid will have a big year as a rookie. Ben Sinnott & Zack Ertz will be in with Ekalar at RB on 3rd down W/Mclairen & Dotson out wide. Or Robinson & Sinnott in the backfield on goalline offense. I can see Ben getting some goaline FB carries. He can catch as a FB as well or spread to TE or WR. I also like Robinson paired with Ekalar in the backfield as both have great hands. If Washington has a lot of QB roll out OPTION PASSES i feel Daniel's easily runs for over 1,000 yards over 17 games and maybe over 1,200 yards...lol... That spreads out a defense and has them hesitating on coverages. This kid has pass friendly recievers all around him. If this year Offensive line can be solid or at least consistanly good enough, I feel this offense will be very effective this year.

[@markclanton1081]

Good video but two points. 1. Washington has a completely new staff, how have they had “trouble developing tight ends”, no relation to the last era. 2. It wasn’t a reach at all. Sinnot had the best odds to be the second tight end selected. He was going second round easily, I thought he would go in the 40s or 50s. 53 was a fine spot.

[@cmi8842]

His senior bowl was a showwwww

[@paulbegansky5650]

Why is Ben a good pick? Size 6 4 and 250 with speed and catching ability. This makes him a threat to catch and run against linebackers who won't be as fast and can block for others.

[@Leon79ification]

Gronk 2.0

[@flexxskins]

I love this kids story. I don’t remember the story including an injury. So is that true? The kid has never been injured?

[@jjspleen8611]

Commanders issues wasn’t developing a TE. It was injuries. From Alexander, Cooley, to Reed, and Davis. All did well, but most playing time and careers cut short due to injuries. Reed being the one that got hurt the most. When playing he was a top 5 TE. All but Davis made the pro bowl while in washington.

[@nogood973]

Washington would be smart to sign one more TE. They can run 2 TE sets and cause a lot off mid matches you can line Ben up all over the field

[@kayru516]

I told yall these picks were closely examined by AP and staff all Dawgs who grinded since grade school. #HTTR #HTTC ❤

[@tojororiru]

I have no idea what you're talking about. Washington has great history developing tight ends. Now they do get hurt alot though. Cooley, and Reed both drafted and developed. And logan Thomas didn't do anything really in the league until he got to the commanders.

[@jasonballenger2505]

I think it’s a reach on the Commies part taking him so early but I hope the chip stays on his shoulder and he works out.

[@Tgod664]

The college stats aren't too impressive.But he clearly has the ability to get eight yards and two touchdowns in a game. I didn't hear anything about him.Being as consistent as laporta was last year but we didn't even see that coming. Lapora might have just gotten the best spot ever last year. It'll be tough to be as good as prime arts laporta.Or kittle but I would love to be wrong! With eckler and all of our other options We should be in the red zone plenty next year

[@johnbaber9660]

Great Draft pick 👏

[@calvincrim1984]

[@TrevorGoss]

Chris Cooley 2.0?

[@renegadenightowlshomestead]

I disagree Washington has had trouble developing the TE position. We just had a good TE in a former QB that we took a flyer on in Logan Thomas. I do hope this guy turns out to be just as good if not better!

[@user-sw4vi8bn6o]

He may have been “ over drafted,” but Washington without a Rd 4 pick wasn’t going wait. I think he could be Chris Cooley.2!

[@TedLucas-mw9ho]

I’m going to predict this guy will retire a commander with at least a few rings

[@SunDie385]

We have Philly Cooper Dejean for this guy, better be the next Cooley!!!!

[@gerrydickson8135]

Again - Redskins received 2 # 2 picks from that one. Also - who knows how well any of them will do. I have seen this numerous times in the past - the media hypes up someone but nobody knows how it will unfold. You can't judge a draft until at least 2-3 years later. Time will tell but at this pt pretty safe to assume that this draft will be far superior to any of the 4 drafts in the Rivera era.

[@tomdiets5079]

Your acting like we traded up for this guy, we trade back and got not only an NFL ready starting nickel corner in Mike Sainristil but Sinnott on top of that. I personally think Sainristil will have a better NFL career than Dejean he may not be as flashy but I think he’s the type that can be plugged right into a system and do his job day in and day out consistently and Sinnott is just icing on the cake who has a lot of upside and a chance to grow and become Jayden Daniel’s go to security blanket receiver.
