Packers.com has consulted more than two dozen mock drafts from reputable national outlets and compiled a list of players most frequently mocked as draft selections in the bottom half of the first round (picks 16-32) who would fit Green Bay's potential roster needs.
Between now and draft day, when the Packers own the No. 22 and 28 overall selections in the first round, those players will be profiled with thumbnail sketches and videos known as "Prospect Primers."
Today's player is …
Treylon Burks, WR, Arkansas
Height/Weight: 6-2, 225
Key stats: Caught 66 passes for 1,104 yards and 11 TDs last season, after posting 51 receptions for 820 yards and seven TDs in 2020.
College honors: First-team All-SEC in 2021 following second-team selection in 2020 and all-freshman honors in 2019.
Background/other info: A big receiver who ran 4.55 in the 40 at the combine, Burks entered the draft with a year of college eligibility remaining. This past season, he led the Razorbacks in receiving yards for the third straight year and became the first Arkansas receiver to top 1,000 yards in one season since 2012. The campaign included a school-record six 100-yard games, one of those a monster performance against perennial power Alabama on Nov. 20, when he had eight catches for 179 yards and two TDs. He averaged better than 16 yards per reception each of his three years in college, and he returned punts and kicks as a freshman. He also was given opportunities to run the ball, with 14 carries for 112 yards (8.0 avg.) and a rushing TD last season. A home-state product, during his prep days at Warren High in Arkansas, he played with a cast on one hand for a stretch but still caught 11 passes for 285 yards and three TDs.
