When Washington Commanders general manager Adam Peters selected tight end Ben Sinnott in the 2024 draft, he compared the former Kansas State star to George Kittle and Kyle Juszczyk. That made perfect sense.
It can be a mistake to assume that because a general manager or coach has had success with one type of player or system, he will automatically try to replicate it elsewhere. Peters' signing of undrafted free agent Colson Yankoff gave him his potential Kittle and Juszczyk in Washington.
The fact that things didn’t turn out that way in 2024 isn’t surprising.
