To try and take our attention off of recruiting since no one really knows what's happening, I'd like to highlight Mikey Sainristil's performance against the Eagles last night. Huge Commies fan so it was tough to see them lose (and Jayden to look bad), but Mikey played his best game of the year. Highest rated player other than Jalen Carter by PFF with an overall score around 90 I believe, and completely shut down AJ Brown and Devonta Smith in the red zone. You could tell the Eagles wanted to attack him yesterday especially in the red area where they tried to go after Mikey on a stop-n-go twice and Mikey played both perfectly.
He was also named a captain for today's game and if you watched the Commies play this year, you could tell why. He's had rookie moments but overall has been the best DB by far on that team and continues to play like that. His intangibles have already resonated with the rest of the defense imo and he's a natural born leader and a winner. Will likely stay on the outside as CB2 when Marshon Lattimore returns or they will move him back to nickel. Either way, he has excelled at both spots and will likely be an all pro type of player for years to come. Glad my Commies got my favorite Michigan player ever
