We’ve seen drips and drabs of what we expected out of Treylon Burks when the Tennessee Titans drafted him in the 2022 NFL draft, but we finally got a full dose in Week 11.
On the Titans’ first drive of the game, and with the team facing a third-and-7, offensive coordinator Todd Downing dialed up a deep ball to Burks, who caught an absolute dime from quarterback Ryan Tannehill for a 43-yard gain.
For Burks, it was the longest gain of his young career thus far, and it helped an eight-play, 83-yard scoring drive along that ended with a touchdown pass to running back Dontrell Hilliard.
Here’s the play:

The Arkansas product’s career-high for receiving yards in a single game is 55, which he tallied in Week 1 against the New York Giants.
Burks is on pace to crush that en route to what could be a career-best game for the rookie.
