Second Round Rookie Making Major Impact At Commanders OTAs originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
OTAs are never a clear mark on how good a rookie class is going to be during the regular season. That being said, it's always a good thing when young players are making impactful plays during this time of the year.

That is true especially for Washington Commanders second-round cornerback Trey Amos. The Ole Miss prospect has turned heads in the nation's capital with some impressive plays throughout OTAs.
And it has Commander fans hoping they have a true lockdown cornerback on the roster.
"Trey Amos' inclusion to the Washington Commanders' lineup has the chance to serve two purposes in the team's secondary," Bleacher Report wrote following the practice. "First, he can bookend last year's acquisition of Marshon Lattimore or outright serve as the team's top outside corner depending on whether the veteran stays healthy.
"This year's 61st overall pick doesn't look overwhelmed when facing Washington's top wide receivers during organized team activities."

Amos was one of the better coverage corners in the draft, and fell to Washington in a surprise to some. He joins a secondary with veteran Marshon Lattimore leading the way in his first full season with the team.
As an outside corner, Amos knows he'll have his hands full. … Especially in the NFC East.
In a division with the likes of A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, and Malik Nabers, Amos is expected to get picked on a lot this season with Washington.
So far in OTAs, he appears up to the challenge.
