WATCH: Treylon Burks catches first NFL TD, suffers terrifying hit in the process
Treylon Burks felt the pleasure of his first NFL touchdown, but it didn’t last long before the pain of a terrifying hit.
Check out the video below of the ridiculous catch, following by Burks somehow hanging on through a crushing blow from Philadelphia Eagles safety Marcus Epps.
Afterwards, Burks was taken to the locker room where he’s being evaluated for a concussion after seemingly being knocked out following the catch. Hopefully he can get back on the field sooner rather than later.
Regardless, it’s a phenomenal catch that Burks that he’ll always hold near and dear to his heart, even though he got blasted afterwards. It’s the first of many for the Tennessee Titans wide receiver, and the future is more than bright.

Treylon Burks burst onto the scene for Arkansas over the last two years. Now, he’s a first-round draft pick. The Tennessee Titans drafted Burks No. 18 overall in the 2022 NFL Draft last Thursday after trading away star wide receiver AJ Brown to the Philadelphia Eagles. The former Razorbacks star had a huge 2022 season to hear his name called in the first round.
Burks had 1,104 yards and 11 touchdowns for Arkansas in 2021. He was virtually a consensus pick to be selected on Thursday. Burks earned first team All-SEC honors for his efforts just one year after being named second-team All-SEC. He was a big part of the Arkansas offense, but now it’s time for him to do the same thing in the NFL.
Out of high school, Burks was a four-star recruit and the No. 1 recruit in the state of Arkansas from the Class of 2019, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.
