Washington Commanders rookie tight end Ben Sinnott had been quiet through the first two weeks of training camp. In daily reports, Sinnott’s name was rarely mentioned. That didn’t mean he wasn’t having a good camp, but other players were standing out more.
That changed on Saturday in Washington’s preseason opener against the New York Jets. Sinnott caught three passes for 57 yards, which led the Commanders, but it was his 44-yard reception that had social media excited for his potential.
Sinnott caught the Jeff Driskel pass across the middle of the field, ran over one Jets defender, and carried others for another 25 yards.
On Monday’s edition of “Good Morning Football” on the NFL Network, Kyle Brandt named Sinnott one of his three nominees for “Angry Runs.”
“Angry Runs” is a popular weekly feature usually reserved for the regular season, where Brandt and his hosts pick a winner and give them a scepter. In addition, the weekly winner gets his own “Angry Runs” t-shirt through Homage.
Here’s Brandt discussing Sinnott:

It has to be Sinnott, right?
Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. has been a finalist for “Angry Runs” several times but has failed to win the scepter. Maybe Sinnott can correct some of those wrongs by taking home the hardware.
