Aaron Rodgers wanted Treylon Burks, but Titans got him first

The Tennesee Titans might have thrown a wrench in the Green Bay Packers’ first-round plans at wide receiver on Thursday.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network told “The Pat McAfee Show” that Arkansas receiver Treylon Burks was the receiver Aaron Rodgers wanted in the first round, but the Titans’ blockbuster trade sending A.J. Brown to the Philadelphia Eagles opened the door for Tennessee to take Burks at No. 18 overall.

“The word I got was that Treylon Burks was the guy that Rodgers liked, that he did the most work on, that he wanted,” Rapoport said.
