Hog-Hunting Touchdown-Scoring Burks Visi

GREEN BAY, Wis. Treylon Burks is as violent as he is caring.As fast as he is, well, not fast.First, the speed.After a fabulous final season at Arkansas, Burks was considered one of the top receiver prospects in the 2022 NFL Draft. Then came the Scouting Combine. He posted a mediocre 40-yard time of 4.55 seconds. A poor 20-yard shuttle of 4.4 seconds. A below-average 33-inch vertical jump. , a 0-to-10 measurement of a players height/weight/athleticism, spoke to a ho-hum athletic profile not really matching a first-round pick.All I can say is go watch film and see if I've been caught with that 40 time, Burks said at pro day.Burks history backs up that bold statement, which is why his draft stock wasnt really impacted by the workout in Indianapolis. He had season averages topping 16.0 yards in each of his three seasons. In 2021, according to Pro Football Focus, he ranked fourth among receivers with 9.3 yards after the catch per catch and 25th with 12 catches on pa ses thrown 20-plus yards downfield.They like my film. They like the way that I communicate, Burks said at pro day, when he improved his vertical jump to 35.5 inches. Im very respectful and Russell Wilson Jersey Im a man about my busine s. I go about my busine s the right way. That's me. I'm not a flashy player. I go to work every day, get done with work, go home to my fiance and my dogs and just keep doing that proce s.His violence isnt about the run-after-catch ability packed in his 225-pound frame, though that certainly applies. Rather, its about one of his Tre Flowers Jersey hobbies.Wild boar hunting. Its something hes done since he was 9.Its not for the faint of heart. A feral hog can tip the scales at 200 pounds, a combination of muscle and sharp tusks. They can run up to 35 mph.Scroll to ContinueYou have to go out there with dogs and the dogs find them and we come up behind them and tackle them and take them out, he said at the Scouting Combine.Its muscle against muscle. Knife against tusks.We do not use guns, . Using a gun takes the fun out of it. Having a knife, it's more of a thrill that you're getting up on a wild boar that could kill you. Honestly, it's just a thrill being out there with your friends and family and having a good time.Dangerous? Sure. But if Burks can tackle a hog and put it on the dinner table, then he can break a tackle attempt by Harrison Smith and take it to the house.Not surprisingly, its been a hot topic of conversation during meetings with teams. Surely, when he meets with the Green Bay Packers on Friday, general manager Brian Gutekunst or one of the teams scouts or coaches will bring it up.Literally everyone was there, he said of a meeting with the Giants. They were thrilled that someone does that. They'd never heard of it. It was amazing to them.Burks, who went deer hunting on 30 minutes sleep after beating LSU, is a product of his great-grandparents. His great-grandfather was a longtime employee of the Warren (Ark.) School District. He taught Burks to have a selfle s attitude. Its an honor to have my name on the back of a helmet, marking his first practice at Arkansas. My family always pushed me and my (great)- grandpa kept telling me when I was younger that I was going to be something in life. My (great)-grandma took that role once my grandpa died and was always pushing me to be better. For me to have the name Burks on my back is really an honor. I want to rep my grandpas name and his legacy.When his great-grandfather died when Burks was in high school, his great-grandmother stepped into the void. Freda Burks is the motivating force as he moves into the next phase of life.Its really big because just thinking back Nigel Warrior Jersey to days where she would always hold me and sacrifice time for me when she didnt have to, Burks said at pro day. She could have gave me to my mom. It just means a lot, just because thats a woman who sat there every day, changed my Pampers, made me milk, just did everything for me and she wasnt even my mom. Just words cant explain.Here is our latest seven-round all-Packers mock draft. This rendition was done via NFLMockDraftDatabase.com. First Round No. 22: Devonte Wyatt, DT, GeorgiaWith the first-round pick obtained in the Davante Adams trade, the Packers grab Devonte Wyatt. When pointed out that his group was short on numbers, defensive line coach Jerry Montgomery on Tuesday said hed like someone with twitch. Well, at 304 pounds, Wyatt ran his 40 in 4.77 seconds. While a bit lost in the draft shadow of his mountainous teammate, Jordan Davis, Wyatt is the better player and will be a three-down sidekick with Kenny Clark. In this years defensive tackle cla s, he ranked second in pa s-rush win rate, according to Pro Football Focus. First Round No. 28: George Pickens, WR, GeorgiaIn this simulation, receiver was hit hard: Jameson Williams went at No. 15, Chris Olave at No. 16, Drake London at No. 17 and Treylon Burks at No. 21. So, I rolled the dice on Pickens at this spot. And, with merely 90 career catches, it is a roll of the dice. He looked like the next big thing as a freshman in 2019, wasnt as productive in 2020 and mi sed most of 2021 with a torn ACL. Hes tall and fast and made big plays in a big-time conference. I'm bigger than Davante Adams. That's kind of the lane I kind of want Charles Cross Jersey to go into because with the size I am, a guy who can move is almost unguardable. Second Round No. 59: Abraham Lucas, OT, Washington StateLucas started 42 games at right tackle the last four seasons. He was a Freshman All-American in 2018, second-team all-conference in 2019 and 2020, and first-team all-conference in 2021. He didnt give up any sacks as a senior, according to Pro Football Focus, and he aced the predraft testing with the type of athleticism the Packers covet for their scheme. As was the case with Pickens, . Second Round No. 53: Cameron Thomas, OLB, San Diego StateI thought about inside linebacker Quay Walker at this spot, which would have made it three consecutive Georgia players, but the edge group had been hit hard and I was fearful of running out of my top groups of guys. Thomas was a wrecking ball, earning second-team All-American honors in 2021 with his 11.5 sacks and 20.5 tackles for lo ses. At 6-foot-4 and 267 pounds, hes got the size the Packers have desired at this position. He lined up here, there and everywhere for the Aztecs, much like ZaDarius Smith did for Green Bay. Third Round No. 92: Kerby Joseph, S, IllinoisIf youre looking ahead, safety Drew Lock Jersey is Green Bays biggest need. As it stands, Adrian Amos and Darnell Savage will be free agents next offseason. The teams No. 3 safety last year, Henry Black, wasnt even tendered as an exclusive-rights free agents, so there are no obvious young guns waiting in the wings. A first-time starter in 2021, Joseph intercepted five pa ses. Hes got sideline-t
