Former Titans First-Round Pick Addresses Status Following Torn ACL Injury originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
Treylon Burks is entering a make-or-break year with the Tennessee Titans. He was a first-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft and hasn't done much, having just 49 catches in three seasons.

Perhaps the biggest reason for his lack of production has been due to injury. He hasn't played in more than 11 games in a season, and was limited to just five games last season due to a torn ACL injury.
The good news is that he's feeling a lot better heading into the 2025 season.
"I feel amazing, just blessed," Burks told "I've just been leaning on God, leaning on the people that believe in me, care. And I feel really good, and happy to be in the situation I'm in."

The Titans declined Burks' fifth-year option this offseason, so he's going to be a free agent in the offseason. There's a lot of pressure that comes with being on an expiring deal, but he's putting trust in himself this season.

"I am not going out to prove nobody wrong, I am going out to prove myself right," he said. "I tore my ACL [on October 18] and I am running. I am running routes, doing everything within those seven months, and it's like, 'Wow.' And it's nobody but God who made it happen. That's who I play for and that's who I lean on. I am not worried about whoever is in the room or whoever we've got. We're a team and we're going to go out and play ball."
