Tonight, the Washington Commanders might’ve landed themselves a sleeper steal, grabbing Trey Amos with the 61st pick of the draft. The Commanders believe they’ve added a tough, versatile cornerback who brings both grit and mental toughness to an evolving defensive unit. And sure, it’s draft night, a time for wondering, celebrating, and overthinking every single pick like its life or death. But this moment isn’t just living inside the football world. Nope, the basketball world isn’t too far behind either. And neither is Magic Johnson, who always seems to pop up when you least expect him on nights like these.
Magic Johnson, part-owner of the Washington Commanders, couldn’t hide his excitement about the team’s latest draft pick Thursday night. Magic jumped on X (formerly Twitter) to show love and congratulate the young cornerback on joining the Commanders family. He posted a photo of Trey Amos with a welcome message that fans instantly picked up and shared around. “I want to welcome CB Trey Amos to the Washington Commanders!” Magic wrote, making sure his new guy felt the love early.
