Adam Peters praises Amos’ physicality and adaptability, calling him a perfect fit for the Commanders' developmental culture.

After giving Jayden Daniels more offensive help in the first round of the NFL draft by selecting Oregon tackle Josh Conerly Jr., the Washington Commanders shifted focus to the defense on day two, selecting Mississippi cornerback Trey Amos at No.

The Washington Commanders finished with a middle-of-the-pack defense in 2024. They were pretty inconsistent at defending the pass. While they ranked 10th in pass defense success rate (55.5%), they were 24th in EPA per dropback (-0.10) and 26th in TD/INT ratio (3.6).
