Mike Sainristil gets first career NFL interception

Mikey does it again! #GoBlue

You knew this had to be coming sooner or later, it’s almost a surprise that it took six weeks for it to happen.

Former Michigan football nickel back Mike Sainristil was known to have quite the nose for the football after switching over from wide receiver to defensive back. Though he netted only one interception in his first year playing defense (2022), he led the Wolverines with six interceptions last season, with his biggest coming in the national championship game against Washington, sealing the title for the maize and blue as the Huskies were driving.

Now with the Washington Commanders, Sainristil has his first NFL interception.

Playing in Baltimore, Ravens star quarterback Lamar Jackson dropped back to pass and found his man downfield, and it ricocheted of his hands and right into Sainristil’s lap.

Oddly enough, Sainristil’s interception is the first that the Commanders have had all year. And surely, now that he has one under his belt, he’s just getting started.
