Plenty of eyes are on rookie receiver Treylon Burks heading into the 2022 season, due to the inevitable links between himself and A.J. Brown. Things haven’t gotten off to the best of starts so far in Burks’ young career, though. 
Asthma problems cost the Arkansas alum practice time during OTAs, then a separate, unspecified issue led to him missing all of the Titans’ minicamp. That raised questions about Burks’ weight and conditioning, but the team stressed that he was still making progress in getting acclimated to the NFL and specifics of their playbook. He should be able to see the field later this month.
WRs coach Rob Moore has “no doubt” that Burks will be available at the start of training camp, as noted by ESPN’s Turron Davenport. That would of course be a welcomed development, since he is in line to start right away for a Titans team which no longer features Brown or Julio Jones. Robert Woods will also play a large role in the team’s passing game, though he is recovering from a torn ACL. Development will therefore be critical for Burks in both the short and long term, as the Titans look to repeat last season’s success.
Given his track record as one of the SEC’s most productive – and most unique – talents, Burks was understandably one of the top wideouts taken in the draft. His run-after-catch ability will likely be his calling card in the early portion of his NFL career in particular, but fine-tuning the rest of his skillset will of course be crucial in the build-up to the season.
“I’m just taking it one day at a time and everything else will take care of itself,” Burks said. “Everybody is going to have setbacks. It’s just how you come back and attack it.” The progress he makes in the coming weeks could go a long way to dictating his own, and Tennessee’s, success in a campaign once again filled with significant expectations.

Thanks for the laugh
If you had swapped the Jaguars and Titans, this wouldn’t be quite as comical.
In all seriousness, I am also low on the Titans. However, I still recognize they 1.) play in a terrible division, 2.) have a stacked defensive front, and 3.) possess a respectable backfield duo in Tannehill and Henry. Those factors alone will make them at least an eight win team, even when factoring in the questionable wideout group and struggling secondary.
Jacksonville is better by default without Meyer, but I don’t see enough offseason improvement for them to be anywhere near the postseason unless Lawrence magically becomes the next Mahomes. The linebacking corp improved dramatically, but for the most part, the Jags just overpaid a bunch of mediocre free agents. Otherwise, the team is still young and has a long way to go.
the South is trash .. Trevor will have a good year .. Matt Ryan will fade down the stretch
Some of these are based on division, it’s not power rankings , its final standings
I’m aware of that. I still don’t understand how Tennessee is worse than every AFC team (including Houston)
They’re not. Ridiculous ranking.
You might want to just limit your username to Goku. Those other words don’t apply
That ranking is garbage lol Titans will have at least 10-11 wins this year
So he must’ve dealt with asthma in college, right? So either the Titans did lousy homework or this guy is absolutely not prepared for the NFL. Btw.. There are a number of players who’ve had steady careers who had asthma, so that reason for missing all the OTAs is sketchy.
I’m guessing lousy scouting report. They bombed on the OT in the first round a year or two ago.
