Take anything with a grain of salt right now.  Just posted this in another thread:

He had that huge interception at the end of the title game.

Some fun notes:

  • 2X team captain, was named team MVP for the best defense in the country. 
  • Described as a player coach and influencer, per the DB coach, he "changed the mindset of everybody on our team"
  • Former wide receiver so has the aggressive/ballhawk mentality (this kid doesn't drop INTs)
  • 6 INTs, 2 pick sixes last year, 3 picks took back for 70+ yards
  • Played 20% outside, 80% slot, had good capabilities blitzing.  5 TFL, 2 sacks
  • Only flagged for 1 PI in college (in the title game) covering Polk
Quote

SUMMARY: A two-year starter at Michigan, Sainristil was the starting nickel in former defensive coordinator Jesse Minter’s 4 -2-5 scheme, although he also saw 22.1 percent of his 2023 snaps at outside cornerback. After spending three years on offense for the Wolverines (when he enrolled, the coaches had internal battles as to which side of the ball he would play), Sainristil moved to defense for his final two years and was voted team MVP of the nati on’s No. 1 defense. He is a fluid and alert

athlete with a wide receiver background — one of just five FBS players with at least six interceptions in 2023 (ranked No. 2 in the FBS with 232 interception -return yards). Though he has some overaggressive tendencies, he trusts his instincts to anticipate and properly position h imself so he can make plays, both in coverage and versus the run. Overall, Sainristil has obvious size limitations that will remove him from some team’s draft boards, but other teams will be more than happy to bet on his outstanding toughness, instincts and ball skills. He will compete for immediate starting reps as a rookie nickel.

Seems like he was a BIG part of that team and its leadership.

Sounds Like he's a DAWG.

Everything put out there this time of year is a smoke. 

Tons of smoke.

but for real—I like what I’m coming across with this kid.
 
There’s so many from Michigan, and DB has been at my periphery, but digging into it, you can see why scouts and coaches would be fans of him. If a team is a sucker for size, Kool-Aid, Tampa or Rakestraw may be higher, but if you’re talking intangibles and ball hawking, he’s one of the tops in the entire draft.

Depending on how certain squads grade their DBs, I could see him as high as DB4 on some team boards.

His natural leadership.  His willingness to do whatever it takes to make those around him better.  Smart. Pure football player.

Sounds like a Dan Morgan guy to me.

Well Canales wants to focus on getting more turnovers so a ballhawk CB makes sense here

      Tet McMillan: "I don't want to hear nothing"

      Also... again, it's not even like he said he doesn't watch film, just that he doesn't enjoy it. I know some football players are film junkies, just like some people are that way with certain aspects of any job.  But there is no job out there that you have to enjoy doing the "worst" part of the job to be great at the job. It would be like not wanting to have Allen Iverson on your team because he doesn't like practice. (and no, before someone jumps on me for it, I'm not trying to say T-Mac is going to be a 1st ballot HOF legend like Iverson, just pointing out that you can be great and still not enjoy the tedious parts of the game/job)

      I'd only find a problem if that video was current or a recent question was asked about film watching in the NFL and his answer was " Nah, braaH ".  Quiet honestly if a player doesn't watch film in during the off hours, that's not a problem to me. The fact is modern NFL team spend hours each working day in with their position coaches going over hours and hours of film. When the players union got rid of contact and pads, it was replaced by workouts/lifting and hours of film study. A normal NFL day is around 8-10 depending on many factors, like health status. They spent dang near 6 hours in a room watching film and going over techniques, mistakes, and game plans etc.  Personally Id rather hit one another, but Im old school and have no place among the youth mindset... Balance is too far over.....

      Oh 100%, it's hard to play that position without being it a little bit these days.  But there is a difference in the type of diva who thinks they're the best and having swagger/confidence and the type of diva that is all about themselves and not the team first. Players don't turn down NIL money, it's near unheard of.  So for a player to flat out tell boosters that he has enough NIL money coming in and they should use it to keep other players from transferring so we could put a better team on the field, it just says so much about his character. And if you think a player who does THAT, is then going to have an attitude problem because he isn't a film junkie who loves to study and thus will end up hurting the team's ability to win, then you're just fooling yourself because he's not the guy you want. I've said it too many times... don't want to draft him, totally fine by me.  But use legitimate and real reasons for not wanting him and/or just preferring someone else over him. This video isn't that, and if you're using it as a reason to not want him, then you can't say I'm the one with an agenda when talking about T-Mac, because then you do too, just the polar opposite.
