Trey Amos, the Washington Commanders' rookie cornerback, is creating quite the buzz this offseason. Selected 61st overall in the 2025 NFL Draft out of Ole Miss, he's outshining fellow draft classmate Josh Conerly Jr. during OTAs and minicamp with impressive performances and strong coverage skills. With the Commanders' defense ranking third in passing yards allowed last season, Amos's addition aims to bolster a run defense that struggled in 2024.

His physical style of play has drawn praise, including a notable moment where he forced an incompletion against Deebo Samuel. Amos's development is crucial as he transitions into a starting role in Dan Quinn's defense, which has historically elevated cornerbacks' performances. His impact is already evident, with second-year corner Mike Sainristil shifting back to the slot, illustrating the command Amos brings to the field.
