In an interview, Sinnott discussed his humble background and how he had to work hard to get noticed. He praised his parents for instilling in him a strong work ethic and credited them with driving him to camps to showcase his skills. Despite not starting a single game as a freshman, Sinnott went on to become a first-team All-Big 12 selection as a senior. He expressed excitement about playing with quarterback Jayden Daniels, the second overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft, and emphasized the importance of building chemistry with him. Sinnott also discussed his goals for his debut season with the Commanders, saying that his main focus is to earn the trust of the people in the organization. He wants to prove that he’s a hard worker and that he’s willing to put in the effort to succeed. These are the same qualities that helped him succeed at Kansas State.
Coincidentally, the entertaining eight-minute interview revealing Sinnott’s humble nature and work ethic comes on the same day that Goodland High School Linkon Cure announces where he will play college football. Speculation is rife that it will be at K-State.
Sinnott is the kind of role model every tight end who wants to play in the NFL should follow.
But unlike Cure, a 5-star recruit, Sinnott had to work his tail off to get some attention coming out of high school. And when K-State took a chance on him, Sinnott made the most of it.
Sinnott went from not starting a single game his freshman year in 2020 to being named to the All-Big 12 first team his senior year.
Sinnott credited his parents for instilling in him the work ethic that enabled him to be successful.
“They gave me every opportunity to succeed,” Sinnott said. “I mean, as a walk-on kid, they would drive me to camps to get me in front of people.”
And now, hundreds of thousands of people will tune in to Sinnott’s games on Sunday afternoons to see footballs thrown by Jayden Daniels, the second overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft.
Daniels will clearly have a lot of eyes on him, having won the Heisman Trophy last fall while playing at LSU.
“It’s super important to be able to grow with the guy and build that connection and chemistry on and off the field,” Sinnott said. “It’s been great working with him, sitting in the film room with him and asking him what you think about this route. Just picking his brain and seeing how he can make my life easier. I’m excited to continue to grow with him and see where we can go.”
Towards the end of the interview, Sinnott answered a question from a fan about Sinnott’s goals and expectations for his debut season with the Commanders.
“The biggest thing in my mind is earning the trust of the people in the building,” Sinnott said. “I want to earn the trust of my coaches, my teammates, the older guys, everybody in the building, whether it’s the janitor. I just want to earn their trust that I’m a good person and that I’m here to work and put myself in a position to succeed every day.”
Those qualities served Sinnott well while at K-State.
