According to a recent 2022 NFL Mock Draft from CBS Sports, Treylon Burks is projected to be drafted 17th overall to the New Orleans Saints.
In this NFL Mock Draft, analyst Chris Trapasso says this about the Arkansas Razorbacks offensive weapon:
"“Love this pairing. Burks is the big-body type who can thrive in Sean Payton’s offense. He’d flourish as a big slot in the NFL.”"
If drafted to New Orleans, Treylon Burks would give QB Jameis Winston another weapon to utilize in Head Coach Sean Payton’s up-tempo offense.
If selected in the first round, Burks would be just the fourth Razorbacks football player selected in the first round of the NFL Draft since 2008, putting him in some elite company.
