Ben Sinnott is a proven asset as a blocker and a tone-setter for the offense. He is versatile enough to be used across the foundation at the next level and will be valuable to his coaches. They will covet his skill set. He has excellent shiftiness and elite flexibility with his hips. His ability to snap his hips around makes him an effective route runner. The sink his hips can achieve quickly helps him explode out of his breaks. He’s a reliable receiver who makes technical film room-style receptions.
Sinnott plays low in his pads with good contact balance and excellent foot speed. He’s shifty enough to make the initial defender miss, and his quick, natural transition as a runner helps him gobble up yards quickly after the catch.
The biggest question with Sinnott was his size and arm length, both of which proved to be fine at the Senior Bowl. The landing spot is vital for Sinnott. He’d be an asset to the ground game in many offenses across the league, limiting his ceiling as a receiver. Sinnott will be a top-10 tight end if he plays as a receiver on a team with an established blocking tight end.
