2022 NFL DRAFT: TREYLON BURKS

By Brandon Lane

Arkansas (JR), TE

A highly recruited four-star recruit who decided to keep it close to home in his home state of Arkansas. He immediately flashed as a true freshman leading his team with 475 receiving yards. Continuing to build on his early success in 2020 he caught 51 balls for 820 yards and seven TDs (once again leading his team in receiving). In 2021 the Razorbacks found additional ways to get him the ball not only through the air but also on the ground (14 carries, 112 yards, 1 TD) But again it was through the air where he SMASHED hauling in 66 balls for 1,104 yards and 11 TDs. Burks was selected first-team All-SEC in his final season.

Pluses:
• Good size and speed
• Skill-set to play all over the field (yes this is another Deebo comp)
• Strong and has the ability to overpower his defenders

Concerns:
• Needs to work on route running
• Lacks short-end quickness
• Work in progress
