The Tennessee Titans got a huge steal when they landed wide receiver A.J. Brown in the second round of the 2019 NFL draft, and any other team in the league would love to grab a pass-catching prospect with a similar skill set.
That being the case, those teams should have their sights set on Arkansas’ Treylon Burks heading into the 2021 college football season.
In his early scouting report, NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah drew the comparison between the two SEC receivers:
I remember watching Brown torch the SEC from the slot. Brown is a little more explosive than Burks, but both guys play with tremendous physicality and toughness. They aren’t afraid to work in traffic and they become special once the ball is in their hands. Brown has already established himself as a premier player at his position in the NFL. I don’t believe Burks has quite the same upside, but I see him developing into a solid No. 2 target at the next level.
Burks could cement himself as a first-round lock in the 2022 NFL draft with a strong campaign this fall, and if he ends up being anything like Brown in the pros, he’ll be a bargain if he falls beyond that range like AJB did back in 2019.
