Packers linked to first-round interest in Arkansas WR Treylon Burks

Rumors surfacing during the week of the draft must always be viewed through a critical lens, but consider this: the Green Bay Packers have been connected with a likely first-round receiver prospect.

Albert Breer of MMQB.com has heard the Packers linked with Arkansas receiver Treylon Burks, who could be an option for general manager Brian Gutekunst at No. 28 overall.

Breer also made the common comparison of Burks to Deebo Samuel, calling him a “bigger receiver who, like Deebo Samuel, you need to have a plan for.”

Burks, who made a pre-draft visit to Green Bay, is 6-2 and 225 pounds and one of the best players in the class with the ball in his hands.
