"A long-armed press-trail corner who only recently put a full season together, Amos offers a tantalizing blend of size and cover skills that belie his inconsistent collegiate path."Pre-draft read
Long-limbed outside press corner who lines up on the boundary and plays with his hands from the snap. Amos crowds the line, jams with timing rather than raw power, and uses length to reroute stems before they can bend. He mirrors comfortably in trail position, keeps his eyes disciplined on the receiver's hips, and rarely panics when a route breaks late.
The signature is downfield ball tracking. He turns and locates the deep ball as well as any corner in the 2025 class, which is why Ole Miss trusted him alone on an island against SEC vertical threats. He is a willing but average tackler, and the transition is where he lives on the edge: fluid enough, not sudden, so quick separators can create early space underneath.
Press-heavy single-high defense that lets him play outside leverage with a safety in the middle, or a Cover-3 match front that keeps his eyes on the receiver.
Year 1: immediate outside starter as a CB2 in a press system. Ceiling: high-end CB2 who erases the vertical half of the field.
A heavy off-zone, quarters-match scheme that asks him to read routes with his eyes inside and drive on quick throws, or a defense that needs its corners to fit the run like extra safeties.
His value lives above 15 air yards; the closer the throw gets to the line, the more ordinary he looks.

NFL Draft: Trey Amos Highlights
School-produced pre-draft package with his 2024 breakups and interceptions.
A five-year, three-school corner who only became a first-round-caliber evaluation in his last season. Amos came out of New Iberia as a three-star, spent three years at Louisiana, took a rotational role at Alabama in 2023, then transferred to Ole Miss and finally got a full-time boundary job. Everything the league liked about him — the press timing, the length, the composure in phase — showed up when he was allowed to play one job for a full year.
The 2024 tape was the resume. He posted 50 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, three interceptions and 13 pass breakups, earned First Team All-SEC honors, and became one of the toughest deep-ball assignments in the conference. The flags were experience-shaped rather than trait-shaped: one true season of high-level production, average change of direction out of the break, and run-support effort that came and went.
The combine backed the profile up — 4.43 with a 32.5-inch vertical and a 10-6 broad at 6-0 3/4 and 195 pounds. Boards had him in the late first to early second range as a plug-and-play boundary starter. Washington, needing a corner opposite Marshon Lattimore, took the readiness at 61 and considered it a value.
- 01
Ball tracking
locates and plays the deep ball with rare comfort for a boundary corner, allowing a sub-19 percent completion rate on throws of 20-plus air yards in 2024.
- 02
Press technique
patient hands and good timing at the line; he jams to reroute stems rather than lunging, and stays square long enough to force a release he wants.
- 03
Length in phase
uses his reach to contest at the catch point without grabbing early, which is why he broke up 13 passes in his lone Ole Miss season.
- 04
Long speed
a 4.43 forty that shows up on tape; he can carry vertical routes down the boundary without needing safety help over the top.
- 05
Composure
never rattled by late route breaks or double moves, and plays with the same demeanor whether he just won or just got beaten.
- 01
Change of direction
average out of the break, so shifty separators create a step underneath before he can drive on the throw.
- 02
Run support
inconsistent effort and technique fitting the alley; he takes poor angles and does not reliably set the edge against outside zone.
- 03
One-year sample
only a single season of high-level starting production after three quiet years at Louisiana and a rotational role at Alabama.
- 04
Takeaway conversion
good hands to contest but not to finish; three career interceptions across five college seasons is thin for a corner with his ball skills.

A dash means the figure is not published by a source we trust — never a zero we invented.
Sturdy outside starter, good in phase deep, exploitable underneath.
Long press corner who wins with hands and length rather than takeaway volume.
Replaceable boundary body who starts when needed but never locks the job down.
Everything above is the pre-draft evaluation. This section is what actually happened — updated year over year.
Washington treated him as a starter almost immediately. Amos was in the lineup by September and played 10 games with eight starts in 2025, logging 32 tackles and six pass breakups before a fractured fibula against Detroit in Week 10 ended his rookie season on injured reserve. The production was solid; the efficiency was rookie-grade. He allowed 23 receptions and a 108.1 passer rating when targeted, finished with a 55.8 PFF defensive grade, and struggled most in run support, where his grade sat near the bottom of qualified corners.
The evaluation held up in the parts that mattered. He was ready to start in Week 1, which is exactly what a second-round corner is drafted to do, and the press-and-trail skill set fit Dan Quinn's boundary role cleanly. What the tape warned about also came due: he gave up too much underneath against quick separators and did not turn contested reps into takeaways, ending the year without an interception. The injury muddies the sample. Year 2 is the real test of whether he becomes a stable CB2 or settles in as a replaceable outside body.
