Former Titans draft bust could be the answer to the Falcons' receiver woes

When the Tennessee Titans traded A.J. Brown to Philadelphia during the 2022 NFL Draft, the Titans acquired an additional first-round pick and a 2023 third-rounder. And with the No. 18 pick , Tennessee selected former Arkansas star Treylon Burks in hopes of finding an adequate replacement for the three-time Pro Bowl wideout.

However, that decision quickly crashed and burned, as Brown won a Super Bowl and surpassed 1,000 receiving yards in three straight seasons for the Eagles. Meanwhile Burks has never surpassed 500 yards in a season and is no longer on an NFL roster.

The 25-year-old fractured his collarbone earlier this summer, but is ramping up in hopes of returning to the field this season.
