The Ole Miss product has improved every year and is an intriguing prospect.
We have gone through the consensus board, now we have to look at the players who the Arizona Cardinals have met with.
It won’t be as many, or there is overlap, we will not look at them again, but it will allow us to continue to build our board with some confidence.
This time, we are just using the Walter Football meeting tracker, and going in alphabetical order, and only top 30 visits.
Starting with Trey Amos, the long, lean cornerback out of Ole Miss.
From Lance Zierlein:
Long press cornerback who proved he could make the jump from the Sun Belt to the SEC without a hitch. Amos can disrupt the release and plays with good short-area movement in man coverage. He can get a little lost at the top of the route and needs occasional safety nets over the top. He has twitchy feet to close and sees the action clearly from zone but can be hampered by indecisiveness, despite favorable instincts. Amos uses physicality and length to shrink the 50/50 odds in his favor. He can play in multiple coverage but is most consistent in zone. Amos needs to ramp up his run support and trust his eyes in space, but he has the goods to become a solid starting outside corner.
Amos is a nice prospect, with good instincts and that desire to be involved. He has similar metrics to AJ Terrell, but let’s not go that high on the comps, although Terrell did go at 16 in the 2020 NFL Draft.
However, let’s go to a more midline cornerback, and that is Drayton Florence, and excellent cornerback from the early 2000’s who was drafted in the second round… at pick 46.
He then started over 100 games in his NFL career, amassed 20 interceptions and was an important piece on some good Chargers teams early in his career.
If the Cardinals can get someone on the Florence to Terrell spectrum, that is a massive win.
