Professional career edit
Sinagra was ranked as the 14th best player in the CFL's Amateur Scouting Bureau December rankings for players eligible in the 2020 CFL Draft, and sixth by players in U Sports, at the end of the 2019 U Sports season, but dropped off the CFL's final Top 20 list in April.[4] He went undrafted in the 2020 CFL Draft.[5] He was reportedly added as a non-counter player by the Montreal Alouettes, although it had not been officially announced.[6] However, the season was cancelled due to the Covid-19 Pandemic. Eventually, Sinagra announced his retirement before spending time with any CFL team.
