The Washington Commanders made headlines during the 2025 NFL Draft by selecting Mississippi cornerback Trey Amos with the 61st overall pick, widely regarded as a steal. Amos, standing at 6-foot-1 and weighing 195 pounds, possesses the ideal blend of size, speed, and physicality that NFL teams covet. His ability to play effectively in both man and zone coverages addresses the Commanders' pressing need for secondary depth.

With a defense that was inconsistent in the previous season, ranking in the bottom tier for key defensive metrics, acquiring Amos is a strategic move. He excelled against SEC competition, demonstrating resilience against top-tier talent. Alongside recent addition Marshon Lattimore and emerging rookie Mike Sainristil, Amos could be instrumental in transforming the Commanders' passing defense.
