After Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Treylon Burks had a rough first practice, he looked more like an NFL-ready player on day two of minicamp.
There is certainly a lot of pressure on Burks as he enters his first days as a professional football player. Obviously, there are the expectations of being a first-round pick in the 2022 NFL draft and a multimillion-dollar contract. However, the Titans traded their top wide receiver AJ Brown on draft night to move up to the 18th pick to select the Arkansas star.
With Brown in Philadelphia, Burks will be expected to try to fill his shoes, or at the very least be a worthwhile contributor in the team’s 2022 passing game. However, on Friday he did not get off to a memorable start in his inaugural NFL practice.
Treylon Burks looked better on day two of Titans’ minicamp
On Friday, Tennessee Titans reporter Paul Kuharsky detailed Burks’ difficulties at practice and how he didn’t make it through his first set of wide receiver drills. The 22-year-old was seen to have trouble breathing early in practice, eventually needed the assistance of an inhaler and ended up leaving practice and heading to the trainer’s room.
Well, it seems Burks eased the worries of Titans fans and media on day two as ESPN NFL Nation reporter Turron Davenport explained on Saturday.
The news certainly has to be a relief for fans because of the important role Burks will have during year one in Tennessee. Plus, it is still very early in the process, and there could have been a variety of reasons that affected the wide receiver’s workouts on Friday.
