Titans Fans Are Saying the Same Thing About WR Treylon Burks
Titans Fans Are Saying the Same Thing About WR Treylon Burks originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
The Tennessee Titans have been plagued by poor general manager decisions over the last several years. Jon Robinson infamously traded away star wide receiver A.J. Brown, who became an All-Pro and Super Bowl champion, and drafted Treylon Burks as his replacement, who has only played 27 games through three NFL seasons.

While injuries have largely derailed Burks' young career, he has still been unproductive when he is healthy and in the lineup. He has just 53 catches for 699 yards and one touchdown despite being the No. 18 overall pick in 2022.
A recent practice video of Burks emerged from Titans OTAs in which he is participating in drills.
The fan reactions to this video was incredibly negative, as they were quick to point out his shortcomings. Several replied to the video with these critical thoughts.
"Looks out of shape physically," one fan said.
"Why is he still here?" another fan asked.
"Heavy and slow," a fan chimed in. "Would much rather try Xavier Restrepo."

"He's a Ferrari with no driveshaft," a fan said. "Looks cool, does nothing."

"Still a bust, training camp cut," another added.
"Can we move on from him already and let the young guys get going?" one fan asked.
While these responses to a simple practice video are harsh, they paint a picture of Titans fans who are sick of the team's poor draft decisions.
Under new general manager Mike Borgonzi, Tennessee should be ushering in a new era, and it seems like Titans fans are fine with leaving Burks in the past.

Multiple PGA Tour Golfers Are Late Additions to U.S. Open Days Before Major Starts
Multiple PGA Tour Golfers Are Late Additions to U.S. Open Days Before Major Starts originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The U.S. Open field of golfers has been solidified, barring any last-minute withdraws. Scottie Scheffler is once again a heavy favorite to win his second consecutive major of 2025 at +275, per DraftKings. Advertisement Rory McIlroy is a distant second at +850 after failing to make the cut at the RBC Canadian Open. A pair of LIV Golf stars are also among the favorites in Bryson DeChambeau at +900, while Jon Rahm is +1200 to round out the top four in the U.S. Open odds. The U.S. Open revealed on Monday that six golfers have been added to the field, headlined by Ryan Fox fresh off his RBC Canadian Open playoff win. Additionally, the following golfers are slated to compete in the major: Doug Ghim, Takumi Kanaya, Chase Johnson, Riki Kawamoto and Eric Cole. Ryan Fox hits on the 1st hold during the second round of the U.S. Open golf tournament at Pinehurst No. David Mercer-Imagn Images Oakmont Country Club is expected to present a difficult challenge for even the best golfers. Fox reflected on turning his attention to competing in the major after securing a victory in Toronto. "I saw enough stuff on social media and talked to a couple guys who went earlier this week, and it sounds like it's going to be a proper beat up. It will be fun," Fox noted in a press conference on Sunday after winning the Canadian Open. Advertisement "I've heard it's a fantastic golf course. It's hard, the greens are tricky. They're going to be running scary fast. From what it looks like, the rough is straight hack out. It's going to be a little different than this week," Fox added. "... Probably going to take it easy on Monday and try to figure out Oakmont in two days and see what happens. It's nice to be in the field, that's for sure."

How to measure success for Cam Ward, Jaxson Dart, other rookie QBs in 2025
Collectively, the latest crop of quarterbacks entering the NFL has drawn little enthusiasm. But that ultimately doesn't matter. Settling into their NFL homes, the QBs have an opportunity to write their own story in the league. All the rookie quarterbacks are starting from square one, though with differing expectations. Here is how a successful 2025 should be measured for each of the first eight quarterbacks taken in the 2025 NFL Draft. Cam Ward Team: Tennessee Titans Round 1, No. 1 overall 2025 goal: start 17 games (flashing star potential) As the top overall selection, Ward is expected to be a franchise-altering quarterback for the Titans. But it could take a few years for him to reach that level, even if he's a "hit." What Jayden Daniels (2024) and C.J. Stroud (2023) did the past two seasons are outliers. If Ward can show an ability to elevate in spurts what appears to be an average supporting cast, display composure in critical moments and limit turnovers, that should be viewed as a win for the Titans. And that should be the case even if Tennessee's record does not reflect a substantial improvement from the team's 3-14 finish in 2024. Jaxson Dart Team: New York Giants Round 1, No. 25 overall 2025 goal: learn by watching; ready to take QB1 reigns in 2026 If all goes according to schedule, Dart won't play meaningful snaps in 2025. Russell Wilson is the starting quarterback for the Giants, who also have Jameis Winston as a capable veteran backup. The best case scenario is that Dart takes in everything he can from them in a "redshirt" year so he's ready to start Day 1 in 2026 — while still being ready to play in 2025 if New York's quarterback plan falls apart. Tyler Shough Team: New Orleans Saints Round 2, No. 40 overall 2025 goal: hold on to starting job In the wake of Derek Carr's retirement, the Saints are saying that they have a quarterback competition between Shough, Spencer Rattler and Jake Haener. They're splitting first-team reps. But the reality is that Shough should win the job, given the draft investment in him as a second-round pick. So it's paramount that he doesn't give them a reason to think twice about his readiness. Decision-making and ball security will be key for the former Louisville quarterback, like with all rookie passers. Jalen Milroe Team: Seattle Seahawks Round 3, No. 92 overall 2025 goal: win QB2 job; flash promise in specialty role With Sam Darnold being the unquestioned starter in Seattle, Milroe's first goal should be earning the top backup role over Drew Lock, who returned to the Seahawks this offseason on a two-year, $5 million deal. The team has talked about the possibility of playing Milroe a few snaps per game in packages that utilize his rushing ability. If he can bring value there and make steady progress as a passer, the former Alabama standout could be in the mix to start in 2026. Dillon Gabriel Team: Cleveland Browns Round 3, No. 94 overall 2025 goal: become a regular on the gameday roster In Cleveland's crowded quarterback room, which includes 40-year-old Joe Flacco and journeyman Kenny Pickett, Gabriel may have the most roster security as a third-round rookie. But as a Day 2 quarterback, he'll need to show poise and comfort in Kevin Stefanski's system. Even if he's not QB1, Gabriel could get an extensive look if the offense struggles, keeping him in the Browns' quarterback plans moving forward. Shedeur Sanders Team: Cleveland Browns Round 5, No. 144 overall 2025 goal: become a regular on the gameday roster A projected top pick early in the pre-draft process, Sanders' status as a Day 3 pick puts him at the bottom of the Browns' quarterback pecking order to start his career. But he's firmly in the QB1 competition and should stay on the 53-man roster as an early-round talent. Like Gabriel, Sanders earning his way into a regular role on the game-day roster — even as a backup — would cement his place in Cleveland for 2026. Kyle McCord Team: Philadelphia Eagles Round 6, No. 181 overall 2025 goal: win QB2 role While he certainly won't supplant Super Bowl LIX MVP Jalen Hurts as the starter, McCord has an opportunity to fill the top backup quarterback role vacated by Pickett, who was traded to the Browns earlier in the offseason. The FBS leader in completions per game and passing yards in 2024, McCord has competition in Tanner McKee and Dorian Thompson-Robinson, who've started a combined six NFL games. Will Howard Team: Pittsburgh Steelers Round 6, No. 185 overall 2025 goal: win QB2 job Now that Aaron Rodgers has signed with Pittsburgh, Howard will compete with Mason Rudolph for the primary backup role. A national champion at Ohio State last season, Howard will have to impress Pittsburgh's coaches to beat out Rudolph, who started 13 games for the Steelers between 2019-23 before playing for Tennessee last season. But there's a scenario in which Howard gets meaningful snaps as a rookie, based on Rodgers' age and Rudolph's low-end potential. Ben Arthur is an NFL reporter for FOX Sports.

Steelers reportedly preferred Matthew Stafford trade over Aaron Rodgers signing
Steelers reportedly preferred Matthew Stafford trade over Aaron Rodgers signing The Pittsburgh Steelers have a new quarterback in Aaron Rodgers, but he wasn't their preferred choice. The team reportedly prioritized trading for Matthew Stafford or re-signing Justin Fields before Rodgers, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Stafford was a hot commodity over the offseason when the Rams allowed his representation to talk with other teams about a deal. He was connected to the New York Giants and Las Vegas Raiders mostly before he re-signed with the Rams. Now, it sounds like the Steelers were in on Stafford, too. Coincidentally, Rodgers was reportedly interested in the Rams if Stafford left. While it's unclear if the sentiments were mutual between team and player, there was the off-chance Rodgers would have moved to L.A. to join Sean McVay while Stafford played elsewhere. Ultimately, though, Stafford remains with the Rams in pursuit of another Super Bowl. The team added Davante Adams as well to upgrade the offense, which should keep Stafford happy for a while, as Adams and Puka Nacua form one of the best one-two receiver tandems in the NFL.
