Commanders' door abruptly slamming shut on surprise roster hope
Briefly

Adam Peters selected tight end Ben Sinnott in the 2024 draft, likening him to George Kittle and Kyle Juszczyk. Sinnott's rookie season was hindered by Zach Ertz's presence, while Colson Yankoff was mainly on special teams. Early indications in camp show both players may not yet possess the physicality or explosive ability seen in their counterparts from San Francisco. Sinnott's minimal yards against the Patriots and Yankoff's challenges during kickoff coverage underscore their developmental difficulties. Their early careers may require more time to fulfill the potential compared to their esteemed comparisons.
Comparing Ben Sinnott to Kittle and Juszczyk highlights the peril of assuming success will simply replicate elsewhere, yet Peters hoped to find similar talent with players like Sinnott and Yankoff.
Sinnott's struggles early in his career, particularly against the Patriots, reveal concerns about his physicality and lack of explosive performance, contrasting with the development path of Kittle and Juszczyk.
Yankoff's experience on special teams during the preseason has raised concerns about his ability to contribute to the Commanders, mirroring issues that Sinnott faces with his performance.
Overall, the early performances indicate that Sinnott and Yankoff may take considerable time to develop, echoing the initial challenges faced by Kittle and Juszczyk.
