Former Titans Draft Bust Poised for Career Comeback Transformation
In the 2022 NFL Draft, the Tennessee Titans selected Arkansas wide receiver Treylon Burks with the 18th overall pick. The team hoped he would be a long-term asset. However, after just over three years, Burks was released on October 7 due to underperformance.
Poised for a New Start
Despite a challenging tenure with the Titans, Burks quickly attracted interest from other teams. Shortly after his release, he visited the Denver Broncos, with a future meeting planned with the Washington Commanders.
A Journey for Career Comeback
Burks’ 2023 offseason faced a setback due to a fractured collarbone on July 26. This injury placed him on injured reserve, but he is now primed for a comeback. The Commanders appear to be a strong fit, as their wide receivers, Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel, are both dealing with injuries.
Opportunity for Transformation
Joining the Commanders could provide Burks with the most skilled quarterback he’s teamed with so far. His time in Tennessee saw him play alongside Ryan Tannehill, Will Levis, and rookie Cam Ward. Now, at 25, Burks has ample opportunity to redefine his career.
Future Prospects
- Potential signing by the Denver Broncos or Washington Commanders.
- Opportunity to play with seasoned quarterbacks.
- Chance to leverage fresh coaching techniques.
The Titans’ decision did not diminish Burks’ collegiate prowess, which remains highly valued in the NFL. Fans of Tennessee may still wish the best for him, hoping he secures a deal with interested teams soon.
