Who exactly is Trey Amos?
We continue our 2025 NFL Draft preview of draft prospects that could interest the Dallas Cowboys. Today we are looking at cornerback Trey Amos out of Ole Miss.
Height: 6-foot-1
Weight: 195-lbs
Arm Length: 31 1/4”
Hand Size: 9”
Strengths:
+ Pairs impressive size with high end athletic traits
+ Long speed to carry receivers deep is all over the tape
+ Can mirror receivers well off the line and out of breaks
+ Showed impressive instincts and breaks on the ball in off-coverage
+ Improved ball skill concerns over the course of the 2024 season
+ Scheme versatile player that can fit into any defensive system
+ Sound tackler on the boundary
+ Battles fearlessly through receivers hands to break up passes late
Weaknesses:
– Lack of ball skills were noticeable in prior seasons
– Would like to see him continue to add strength to his frame to help play more physical in the run game
– Has very limited experience playing in the slot over his college career
– Strike placement in press can improve to impact receivers releases off the ball
– Not always the most aggressive pursuit in run support
– Can be labeled a bit of a “guesser”, leading to a handful of reps where he gets put in a spin cycle
Round Grade: 2nd
Overall Summary:
In a weaker cornerback class, Trey Amos should stand out due to his impressive tape, testing, and clean injury history. Amos has a shot to go at the back end of the first round, but would be an excellent fit for the Cowboys in the second round due to his coverage skills and athleticism and the strides he made taking the football away in 2024.
RAS Card:
Trey Amos is a CB prospect in the 2025 draft class. He scored a 8.37 RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 450 out of 2752 CB from 1987 to 2025.https://t.co/0R3gGWhfQI pic.twitter.com/iqKerXOXKC
