The Washington Commanders made a significant upgrade to their secondary by drafting Trey Amos with the 29th pick in the second round of the NFL draft. Amos, an All-SEC cornerback from Ole Miss, fills a crucial need for Washington, which struggled in the secondary last season. He brings impressive skills in press coverage, aligning perfectly with head coach Dan Quinn's defensive strategy.

Amos is expected to start opposite Marshon Lattimore, a recent trade acquisition, allowing last year's second-round pick, Mike Sainristil, to transition to his preferred slot cornerback role. With this move, the Commanders aim to bolster their defensive capabilities significantly.
