Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown is a rare talent. Arkansas WR Treylon Burks is a pretty special receiving prospect himself. Burks has a unique blend of contested catch abilities and shiftiness with the ball in his hands. In simple terms, he's impressive before the ball gets in his hand as well as after. Titans fans know better than anyone that description fits A.J. Brown, too. Will Burks be a Titans target in the draft?
Burks is a projected first-round selection, and he may be the best receiver in this year's draft class. That says a lot with the amount of talent in the WR class. He believes that Brown and himself have some similarities in their style.
The Comparison
On tape, Burks' fluidity and run-after-catch ability definitely stand out. Brown has flourished with those skills for the Titans as well. Many fans know Brown for his incredible plays where he gets the ball behind the line of scrimmage and turns it into a huge gain. Don't forget how many contested or one-handed catches he has made over the years, though. Burks possesses the traits to make many of those same plays.
These are just a couple of examples where each show off their unique abilities that make them special athletes. Guys at their size should not be able to move or contort like that. Regardless, they do, and it is dazzling to watch.
It's unclear if Burks will be available when the Titans come on the clock in the first round, but he would undoubtedly be a great addition to the team's offense.
