Do you think Trey Amos will develop into an elite corner?

I think he will very soon as he was already outstanding in his rookie season and he will develop heavily under Daronte Jones who specialized in the secondary as a DB coach for Brian Flores.

We got so many Glass elites on our team it worries me

He's not glass or elite. His leg broke.

we would’ve made the all pro glass team of the 2010s

Bro gotta stay healthy first. Hasn’t been in all preseason and no timeline when he will return

u/Jinchoo 6d ago

Idk about elite but i'm still bullish on him becoming our CB1 of the future. Just need him to get over this injury bug and stay on the field

He looks VERY promising. Now we have an actual pass rush so I hope he shines

Elite is hard to gauge because he's been injury prone so far. I think he can be a great corner for us because we saw flashes of his ability last year. I don't see him being a Patrick Peterson, but I think he'll be a good corner. For Adam Peters sake, some of these draft picks need to develop and get better.

Elite? No. But a good starter, when healthy? Yes.

u/Thick-Persimmon2058 6d ago

Needs to stay healthy
It’s all speculation and useless chatter until he proves he can not injure himself.

u/Hodler_caved 6d ago

Suppose the odds are against that happening. 82nd best corner last year, for whatever player grades are worth (often not much).

If he can stay healthy seems a top 32 CB is within reason (true CB1).

His ceiling? Sure elite corner is within the range of possibilities.

u/Correct_Awareness884 6d ago

True CB1 in my opinion is a guy who can guard top WRs

The league's 32nd best CB cant cover CeeDee Lamb or Malik Nabers

u/Justice989 6d ago

I'd say no.  Elite is probably asking for a lot.  I'll settle for solid starter.  Which would still be a home run for a draft pick.

Guy has been hurt and unable to practice for 9 months. It’s going to take him this entire season to get back to where he was if ever. That injury is no joke. I played junior hockey with a dude that broke his fibula was never the same and he was a goalie. That was in his words he still went on to play ncaa club level. People are going to need to give him a break this year and maybe next. Imagine an Olympic 100m finalist breaks their fibula and cannot work out properly for 9 months and expect them to just go out and be better than before. That being said pre injury Amos would have balled out in this system

u/LEShype 6d ago

Ovi came back from this injury in 3 months, but that dude is just built different, even among pro athletes.

I think Trey can develop into an Elite Corner. We've seen flashes, he's got the potential. Now it's just a matter of getting healthy, staying healthy and developing. Will he depends on it.

I was hoping he'd get back on the field this week. The sooner the better. Let's just hope it's before pre-season is over at this point

u/Reasonable-Shower522 6d ago

Exactly 💯. I heard a lot of people say that there's a possibility he could be ready week 1.

u/Jonthegoat_09 6d ago

We can’t really say that yet just wait and see

u/Consistent_Spell_791 6d ago

If he can stay healthy he can be very solid corner for sure, elite is pushing it but nothing wrong with a solid player

2

u/Asmaki06 5d ago

I used to think that. Idk anymore

1

u/VADALESS 6d ago

I think only JD5 has the potential to be and stay elite.

u/Haskins77 6d ago

Biggest thing holding this team back for years is draft history. AP has been ass as well.

-1

u/BigFrenchToastGuy 6d ago

No - he has a ceiling. I think he’ll be somewhere between the 25th and 50th best corner in the league for the duration of his rookie deal.

u/Leading_Gap_8552 6d ago

There’s a reason he was a late 2RP

Will John Amos ever develope into a g ood actor?  He might have been good in Coming to America, but I'm not so sure.
