That was Chris Cooley’s first reaction when watching film of the Commanders’ second-round choice (No. 53 overall), Kansas State tight end Ben Sinnott.

Cooley was a guest Friday on the “The Kevin Sheehan Show” podcast and gave his film review of the tight end the Commanders drafted last week.

“He is what Joe Gibbs used to call an H-back; he’s versatile,” added Cooley.

Cooley was the comparison that immediately came to my mind when I first looked at some Sinnott tape. Now it's confirmed. If Ben plays like Chris did we are very fortunate to have him.

I think ben has some advantages, slightly faster, better blocker (if you need a weakness it's being on the line try to deal with a DE). He has the same good hands and ability to break tackles for sure though. Cooley played B-back in college, sort of a TE that ran routes out of the backfield (and he caught 1,255 yards his last year at Utah, which is crazy).

A Cooley-like career would be great though.
