"It already looks like Burks is set for a new lease of life in Washington. He flashed promise but missed one game with a finger injury. He used the bye week to get healthy, returning for Washington's clash with the Denver Broncos on Sunday Night Football. And he was eager to take advantage of every opportunity coming his way. Treylon Burks' wonder catch improved his chances of extended Commanders run That was no more evident than in the third quarter."
"This is the best way to stick around. It was a highlight reel grab in no uncertain terms, invoking memories of Odell Beckham Jr.'s similar catch years ago. This is also an example of the playmaking ability the physically imposing wideout can bring to the Commanders if he can keep stacking good performances to build confidence. The Commanders have some questions within their receiver room this offseason. Deebo Samuel Sr. is out of contract. Luke McCaffrey and Jaylin Lane remain a work in progress."
Treylon Burks received a fresh opportunity with the Washington Commanders after being released by the Tennessee Titans. Burks entered the NFL as a first-round pick from Arkansas but struggled with injuries, the pressure of replacing A.J. Brown, and team struggles. He missed a game with a finger injury, used the bye week to get healthy, and returned for Sunday Night Football against the Denver Broncos. On a third-and-goal, Marcus Mariota lofted a pass to the corner that Burks improbably came down with for a touchdown. The grab highlighted his playmaking ability and improved his chances amid receiver-room uncertainty this offseason.
