Titans Select Wide Receiver Treylon Burks, Trade AJ Brown To Eagles At NFL Draft

/in /by

The Tennessee Titans have selected Arkansas wide receiver Treylon Burks with the No. 18 overall pick at the 2022 NFL Draft.

They received the pick from the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for AJ Brown in a blockbuster trade.

Burks will be a comparable replacement for Brown as he plays very similarly. Bruks played 32 games at Arkansas, scoring 18 receiving touchdowns. In 2021, he had 66 catches for 1,104 receiving yards, 11 touchdowns, and averaged 16.7 yards per reception. He was named to the First-Team All-SEC this past season.

“My high school head coach said this morning that the Titans were going to get me,” Burks said in a press conference with media. “I didn’t believe him at the time, but once I got the call I was like, ‘This dude was right.”

Brown immediately signed a four-year $100 million deal with $57 million guaranteed, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rappoport.

The Titans traded their 26th and 101st overall picks to the Jets in exchange for the 35th, 69th, 163rd picks.

Tennessee are set to select at the 35th, 69th and 90th pick Friday, April 28 in round two and three of the NFL Draft.
