The Washington Commanders selected Ole Miss CB Trey Amos with the No. 61 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft.

It was a bit surprising when Ole Miss cornerback Trey Amos did not hear his name called during the first round of the 2025 NFL draft. However, it was more shocking that Amos remained on the board when the Washington Commanders made their second selection at No. 61 overall.

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).
