### "I'm gonna be able to learn from his footsteps"
The Commanders considered taking Amos with their first-round pick, so they clearly have high hopes for what he can accomplish as a rookie. If that becomes a reality, it would be the second straight year the team has found an instant contributor, as Sainristil emerged as one of Washington's best defensive players. Although he started as a slot corner, Sainristil's efficiency led to him being moved outside, where he had even more success with 14 pass breakups and two interceptions, both of which led the team.
Amos is looking forward to getting some pointers from Sainristil, too.
"It's gonna be real exciting," Amos said. "I'm gonna be able to learn from his footsteps and learn his tools, learn how to communicate and just be a sponge. Just soaking up all types of information. Really looking forward to it."
Amos got a glimpse of the Commanders' culture by watching the team go through the playoff run. He saw how they became one of the most exciting teams in the league by going 12-5 in the regular season, beating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on a last-second field goal in the Wild Card round and shocking the Detroit Lions in the Divisional round.
Now that he's part of that culture, he wants to put his own stamp on it and help elevate his new team to even more success.
"It was a good setting, and I want to build to that, too," Amos said. "I want to come in, be a good team player and help the growth."
