Burks' Breakout with Commanders

0:00On April 2nd, Washington commander's wide receiver, Traylon Berks, faced massive pressure from day one. Back in 2022, the Titans drafted him 18th overall right after trading away star AJ Brown to Philly. They basically wanted the rookie to fill those huge shoes immediately, which was a tall order for any first year player. Injuries derailed him quick though. Turf Toe knocked him out six games as a rookie, then an LCL sprain in 2023 training camp, an ACL tear in 2024 week seven, and a fracture collarbone last summer. He barely stayed on the field with Tennessee. The Titans waved him in October, and the commanders grabbed him for their practice squad a week later, bumping him up to the active roster fast, even broke a finger in his second game there, but bounced back after just one week out. Berks showed flashes and egg gains with Washington, hauling in 10 passes for 130 yards, and a touchdown. That score on Sunday night football versus Denver? Straight fire. Maybe the catch of the year in 2025.

1:04Team brass like GM Adam Peters and coach Dan Quinn rave about his work ethic, and after the catch skills. At 6-2, 225 pounds, he's built perfect to compliment Terry McCloreen if luck finally swings his way. No more pressure. Cooker. Just room to ball out.
