Many draft analysts had Amos as a first-round pick and believed the Commanders got "a steal" when they drafted him with the 61st overall pick. NFL.com's Chad Reuter wrote that Amos was "fantastic in man coverage," while SB Nation's Joseph Acosta gave the Commanders an "A+" for the pick because of how he fit into Washington's scheme.
Although it's still early, Amos has already impressed his coaches and teammates with his technique and desire to learn.
"His technique is there," cornerback Marshon Lattimore said when asked about Amos. "From what I can see...he looks complete. He's a rookie, and it's early, but throughout the season, I feel like he's going to keep that up and get better as the season goes."
The Commanders were searching for cornerback help during the offseason, particularly one who could excel in man coverage. They believe they have found it with Amos, and if he can keep impressing the team during training camp, it could lead to him being an immediate contributor on the perimeter.
"Washington was thrilled when he was still available late in the second round, and no wonder: The big, physical CB displayed enticing press-man ability last season in the SEC, earning first-team all-conference honors," Filice wrote.
