Who made a mark? Andre Amos

Andre Amos
? Basics: Junior cornerback
? Quick history: Considered a stellar cover corner coming out of high school, he underwent major knee surgery in the spring a year ago after playing in 12 games primarily on special teams in 2006. He returned to play on three special-teams units the last half of the 2007 season.
? Spring game display: He led the Gray with eight tackles, including five solo. In man coverage, he made a strong hit on Ray Small to keep him to a 4-yard gain on third-and-6 in the second quarter.
? What it means: With starting cornerback Donald Washington being disciplined late in the spring, Chimdi Chekwa moved into that No. 1 role and Amos stepped up to the No. 1 nickel back in certain situations.
? Quotable: "Ever since a couple of guys went down, Andre definitely stepped into the role. He played very well through the whole spring and I think he is ready to be thrown into the rotation." -- safety Kurt Coleman
