New Tennessee Titans WR Treylon Burks: 6 things to know

Titans WR Treylon Burks started hunting wild boar at the age of nine, using just a knife and his dogs.

The Tennessee Titans added a new wide receiver on Thursday night in the first round of the 2022 NFL draft after selecting Arkansas wide receiver, Treylon Burks, at No. 18 overall.

Burks was a favorite among Titans fans going into the draft, although that was with the idea that he’d be paired with former Titans wide receiver, A.J. Brown, who ended up getting traded to the Philadelphia Eagles for two picks, one of which was used to select Burks.

As much as the Titans would like to ease Burks in, they won’t have much of a choice.

With Brown gone, the Titans need their rookie to emerge as at least a No. 2 receiver, and quite possibly a No. 1 depending on what happens with Robert Woods, who is coming off a torn ACL.

But there will be plenty of time to talk about that as the offseason progresses. For now, we’re taking a look at six things to know about the newest Tennessee Titans wide receiver.
