'Had a good day every day' – Commanders DC Joe Whitt Jr. praises breakout rookie defender for standout performance during training camp

Amos is projected to be the outside starting corner opposite of Marshon Lattimore, while Mike Sainristil goes back in the slot, and he can have a season just as impactful as Sainristil did last year. Sainristil has also praised Amos throughout training camp and knows that he brings something special to the secondary.

The rookie corner already has a great connection and trust with Whitt Jr., and he has the mindset you're looking for in a star corner.

“He’s [Joe Whitt Jr.] just like, ‘don't let nobody catch the ball on you," Amos told the media laughingly. "That's the main thing. I'm just trying to do my job to the best of my ability at all times. Sometimes they might catch a ball on you just know that they have to earn it. Going against me. You just got to keep on playing, keep on chopping regardless.”

Head coach Dan Quinn usually waits and makes rookies earn their starting spot on the roster, but he wasted no time giving Amos a starting position on the first unofficial depth chart. He's actually the only rookie this season to earn that honor so far.

We aren't sure how much playing time Amos will get in the preseason, but he can get the hype train going full steam ahead before the season starts if he can show out in the three games. Amos has the traits and aesthetics to be an elite corner in the league and make an impact on the secondary in just his rookie season.
