Sainristil tallied six tackles (four solo) and intercepted a pass in Sunday's Week 6 loss to Baltimore. Sainristil's pickoff came on the first drive of the game and stalled Baltimore in the red zone. The rookie cornerback grabbed a Lamar Jackson pass that bounced off Mark Andrews' hands and returned it for 38 yards. Sainristil also tied his career high with six stops in the game, a mark he's reached three times this season.

The Commanders selected Sainristil in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 50th overall. Sainristil might be limited to the slot at just 5-foot-10, 182 pounds, but the Michigan standout should excel there at least. He was a standout presence in a suffocating Wolverines defense that carried Michigan to its National Title victory in 2023, and his workout numbers indicate the ability to cover ground effectively (4.47-second 40-yard dash, 40-inch vertical, 131-inch broad jump). Sainristil should immediately take over the slot position for Washington and might even have an outside chance of winning a starting role.
