Commanders selected Ole Miss CB Trey Amos with the No. 61 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Amos (6’1/195) worked his way up to the SEC spending three seasons with Louisiana, where he allowed a sub-40% completion rate in each campaign, before getting the call up to Alabama in 2023. He assumed a reserve role with the tide, starting just one of 14 games despite a respectable 76.9 PFF defensive grade. Amos transferred to Ole Miss and ran with his new opportunity, logging career highs with 841 snaps, 13 PBU, 3 interceptions and a 54.5 NFL passer rating allowed. The First Team All-SEC performer also posted a strong 81.3 run defense grade and produced an exceptional 28.6% forced incompletion rate. He ran an 88th% 40-yard dash with a solid 8.37 RAS, though his 4.36s shuttle (36th%) wasn’t great. Amos is pretty balanced in terms of his versatility on the field, having demonstrated effectiveness in both zone and man. He is rarely stressed downfield thanks to a smooth backpedal and is savvy on third downs, sitting on routes and not getting run off the sticks. If there’s a prevailing critique it probably stems from his tendency in zone to sag off receivers on in-breaking routes, preferring to read the quarterback. Amos flashed the tools to become a weekly starting cornerback and has one of the higher floors of this CB group.
