University of Arkansas cornerback Montaric Brown has gotten a good look at some of the nation's best college receivers the last few years. He thinks at least one of the Razorbacks' own wideouts can stack up with the best in the land, not only in the coll ege game, but beyond. Treylon Burks is just a sophomore for the Razorbacks, but the 6-3, 232-pounder showed speed, strong physical traits, great hands and a tackle-breaking affinity last year. Asked which Arkansas wideout was toughest to cover, Brown sai d, "I'd say Treylon Burks. He's a big-frame guy. "I call him Julio Jones, because he has a big frame. He can do anything. He has speed, power, and he can just run by you. Even though he's like 230, he can run by you. He's got all the weapons. He's built like an NFL receiver. He can do anything."Jones, the former Alabama star, is a 6-3, 220 pounder who has 797 catches for 12,125 yards and 57 touchdowns in 10 years with the Atlanta Falcons, already Hall of Fame-like numbers. Burks, a product of War ren High School, couldn't help but grin when a reporter brought up Brown's comparison. "Busta, that's my guy," Burks said. "We compete every day, and he calls me 'Julio.' That's my favorite receiver." Burks said he worked on his speed, slimming down a bi t, running more precise routes and understanding defenses better during the offseason. - Northwest Arkansas Times
