## Resource

Mike Sainristil’s 2025 season stats were brutal, but his playmaking instincts never wavered—he still snagged four interceptions, twelve breakups, and over eighty tackles. After struggling in a role that didn’t suit his Michigan slot expertise, the Commanders are shifting him back into his natural hybrid slot position under new coach Daronte Jones. This scheme lets him thrive by reading QB eyes and attacking underneath routes, unlocking his ball-hawking potential. With a rookie year to build on and a system designed for his strengths, Sainristil’s resurgence could be the key to becoming a consistent defensive anchor.
