2025 NFL Scouting Report: Trey Amos

Prospect Summary:

Amos started out his collegiate career at Louisiana and played there for three seasons. He was a backup in 2020 and 2021 but then started in 2022, recording eight breakups, 35 tackles, and a blocked kick. He transferred to Alabama and was a rotational backup, but Amos was impressive late in the season when he saw more playing time with the Crimson Tide. Team sources raved about his final tape for Alabama, and after the season, he transferred to Ole Miss. In his final season, Amos had 13 passes broken up with three interceptions and 50 tackles.

With his skill set, Amos definitely has the physical tools to play in the NFL. Amos has quality size with good length to match up against big receivers. Along with having size, Amos has good instincts and plays with good technique. Amos has a burst to close when playing in zone, and he is capable of playing press or off-man coverage. Between his awareness, athleticism, height, and length, Amos has nice recoverability to make up ground if he gives up some separation. Amos has quality route recognition and is smooth to run in coverage to prevent separation.

With big cornerbacks, a natural issue is stiffness, but Amos is an excellent athlete with smooth twitch. He is fluid and loose to flip his hips to run with receivers. His athleticism can be seen by allowing him to redirect and break on the ball over the 2024 season. In his senior season, Amos showed impressive ball skills to make interceptions and slap passes away. His ball skills are a nice cherry on top for an athletic corner who could be very good in zone or man coverage as a pro.

The big question about Amos was his deep speed and ability to handle fast receivers. Thus, Amos really helped himself with a much faster-than-expected 40 time at the combine. In the 2025 NFL Draft, Amos could get selected late in the first or early in the second round.
