The Washington Commanders need another cornerback. Despite signing Amik Robertson to a two-year deal in free agency, the Commanders still need help at cornerback. Washington released starter Marshon Lattimore, and allowed Jonathan Jones and Noah Igbinoghene to depart as free agents.

Currently, the Commanders have Robertson, Mike Sainristil and Trey Amos at corner. While those three are projected to be Washington’s top three corners in 2026, the Commanders need depth and perhaps another corner who can play outside.

The Commanders are set to host LSU cornerback Mansoor Delane on a pre-draft visit to Ashburn. Delane is considered the top cornerback in the 2026 NFL Draft and is a legit contender to go No. 7 overall to Washington. He’s not the only cornerback the Commanders will host.

Washington will host Miami cornerback Keionte Scott, per NFL draft analyst Ryan Fowler.

Scott is an interesting prospect. He began his career at Snow College in Ephraim, Utah. Several NFL players have spent time at Snow, including Denver Pro Bowl left tackle Garrett Bolles. After two years at Snow, the San Diego native transferred to Auburn, where he played for three seasons before transferring to Miami, where he played in 2025.

The 5-foot-11, 193-pound Scott is praised for his toughness, leadership and physicality, which appeals to Washington GM Adam Peters and head coach Dan Quinn. That type of play will also ender Scott to new defensive coordinator Daronte Jones. Scott had 64 tackles last season, and a remarkable 13 tackles for loss, along with five sacks. When was the last time you heard of a corner having 13 TFLs?

That type of versatility is also a draw. Scott recently had scouts buzzing with his performance at Miami’s pro day.

Here’s what NFL draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah said about Scott:

Scott is a dynamic nickelback. He’s an excellent force player, blitzer and energy provider. In underneath coverage, he has excellent eyes, quick feet and ball skills. He wasn’t asked to mirror and match often, but he has the speed and fluidity to do so. He generates a lot of negative plays in the run game by combining his burst, want-to and unique ability to avoid blocks on the way to the ball-carrier. As a blitzer, he has timing, burst and the ability to finish. He will have some fly-by missed tackles in space because of his aggressive approach. He’s an older prospect (24 years old) but he’s ready to contribute immediately and will provide an explosive element to his drafting team.

Scott will likely not be around when Washington selects at No. 71. He’s firmly in the mix to go in the second round. The Commanders currently do not have a second-round pick. Could his age help him slide a bit next month? If so, Washington would pounce on Scott, much like it did when Trey Amos fell in 2025.
