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.
