The Washington Commanders expressed excitement about selecting CB Trey Amos in the second round of the draft, considering him for their first-round pick initially. At 6-foot-1 and weighing 195 pounds, he possesses impressive speed and skills. Amos had a standout season at Mississippi, leading the SEC in passes defended and tied for interceptions on his team. His addition comes at a crucial time for the Commanders, who are looking to enhance their cornerback lineup after struggles with injuries last season. His capability in press coverage suggests he might start right away, adding depth and competition to the roster.
He was in the mix for our first-round pick, so that's what we thought of him. ... We were really excited he was there.
Amos tied for the SEC lead in passes defended with 16 and equaled the Rebels' team high in interceptions with three last season.
Last season's trade deadline deal for Lattimore didn't pay off immediately as the four-time Pro Bowler battled lingering hamstring injuries.
Amos, capable of playing press coverage, could start as a rookie if the staff moves Sainristil back to the slot.
