The hype continues to build for Washington Commanders rookie cornerback Trey Amos.
Amos, the Commanders’ second-round pick back in April, was named to the NFL’s All-Rookie team by NFL.com’s Gennaro Felice. He joins New York Giants defensive end Abdul Carter and Dallas Cowboys defensive end Donovan Ezeiruaku as the only NFC East representatives on the list.
“The Commanders signed veteran Jonathan Jones, who offers inside/outside ability, but Amos sure has the look of a Dan Quinn corner,” **Filice wrote.**
Amos (6-foot-1, 195 pounds) was a First Team All-SEC cornerback who led his team with 13 pass breakups. A five-year player who suited up for three squads, Amos recorded 122 tackles and three interceptions.
The Commanders needed to provide depth at cornerback aside from Marshon Lattimore and 2024 draft pick Mike Sainristil. Amos can fill that role on the outside, as he has quick feet and can play in press coverage. Amos stood out in the draft process with a solid combine performance, recording a 4.43 40-yard dash, 32.5-inch vertical and 10-foot-6 broad jump.
