On Day 2 of the NFL draft, the Washington Commanders selected cornerback Trey Amos from Ole Miss with the No. 61 pick. This pick follows the Commanders' choice of offensive tackle Josh Conerly Jr. on Day 1, indicating a balanced approach in addressing team needs. Amos, who had a standout college career with significant contributions in his final season, fills a crucial gap in the Commanders' defense after the release of Emmanuel Forbes Jr. and the departure of Benjamin St-Juste in free agency. Washington aims to enhance their defensive backfield with this strategic selection.
Trey Amos wasn't expected to be available at No. 61, but Washington had no problem turning his card in and making him the second Commander drafted this week.
Washington released former 1st round pick Emmanuel Forbes Jr. last year and let Benjamin St-Juste leave in free agency last month, prompting the need for a new cornerback.
Amos spent five years in college... with his first three at Louisiana, joined the SEC two years ago with Alabama, and transferred to Ole Miss for his final season.
He had his best season with 50 combined tackles, 4 tackles for loss, 3 INTs, 13 passes defended, and a forced fumble.
