The Green Bay Packers are actively addressing their secondary needs ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft. With uncertainty surrounding Jaire Alexander’s future and the departures of Eric Stokes, Corey Ballentine, and Robert Rochell in free agency, the team is in search of a reliable CB2 to pair with Nate Hobbs while adding much-needed depth.
Cornerback ranks as the Packers’ third-most likely first-round target, behind only defensive line/edge and offensive line, per FanDuel Sportsbook. Given the current state of the secondary, securing a top-tier cornerback early in the draft should be a priority.
As part of their evaluation process, Green Bay has scheduled a visit with Ole Miss cornerback Trey Amos, according to Easton Butler of Packer Report. Amos, a seasoned SEC defender, brings an impressive resume and a skill set that fits new defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley’s aggressive scheme.
Amos’ Collegiate Journey & Strengths
– 2020 (Louisiana):11 games, 10 tackles, 1 INT
– 2021 (Louisiana):12 games, 14 tackles, 5 PBUs, 1 forced fumble
– 2022 (Louisiana):10 starts, 8 PBUs (team-high), 35 tackles, 1 blocked kick
– 2023 (Alabama):14 games (1 start), 12 tackles, 5 PBUs
– 2024 (Ole Miss):10 PBUs, 3 INTs, held QBs to a 54.5 passer rating
Amos excels in press coverage—a key trait for Hafley’s system—and has shown lockdown ability on deep passes. According to Pro Football Focus, he allowed a completion rate below 19% on throws of 20+ yards throughout his college career. With 2,459 defensive snaps over five seasons, his experience and consistency stand out.
Draft Outlook & Fit in Green Bay
The Packers’ scouts were reportedly high on Amos during his pro day, and this visit signals growing interest. While he could be a first-round target, Amos may also be available early on Day 2. If selected, he would immediately compete with Keisean Nixon for the starting CB2 role, offering the Packers a physical, battle-tested option in their revamped secondary.
With the draft approaching, Amos is a name to watch as Green Bay looks to solidify its defensive backfield.
