Commanders select Ole Miss' Amos 61st overall

The Washington Commanders selected Ole Miss cornerback Trey Amos in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 61st overall.

Amos had a stellar 2024 season for the Rebels, allowing a 54.5 passer rating in coverage with three interceptions and 13 passes defended.

Pre-draft profile

Amos should be getting more attention as part of this cornerback group. The statistical production doesn't necessarily stand out, as he finished his five-year college career with just four interceptions, three of which came in his final season at Ole Miss. But his tape shows everything you need to be an impact player at the next level. Amos has good size for an outside corner and is incredibly smooth in coverage. He's got fluid movement skills to mirror receivers throughout the play in man-to-man assignments. As a zone defender, he plays with outstanding instincts, good transition quickness, and the ability to pass off assignments and find the ball. The long speed didn't seem spectacular in game situations, but then he went out and ran a 4.43 at the combine. And while he could stand to be a more sound tackler in the run game, he's capable of holding his own in that respect. Amos is an extremely underrated defensive back prospect who should contribute as an immediate starter.
