The Athletic's Bruce Feldman quoted a receiver coach in a recent article who said Arkansas WR Treylon Burks "is a freak show, but he is super raw."
Burks (6'3/225) was tabbed as an athletic freak ahead of the NFL Scouting Combine, but saw some of that hype fall off after his 4.55 40-time. Nevertheless, it was Burks' performance on tape that drove his hype train, and some coaches appear to still be on board. Coaches did knock Burks for his route running, suggesting that he needs to be more refined and wasn't asked to run many routes at Arkansas. One of the more polarizing players in this year's draft, it will be interesting to see how Burks' Combine affected his overall draft stock come Thursday.
