Treylon Burks seeks to establish himself as Commanders' WR2 for 2026

Summary

Treylon Burks is poised to take on a larger role with the Washington Commanders as the team’s No. 2 wide receiver following the departure of 2025 leading receiver Deebo Samuel. With Terry McLaurin as WR1, Burks, a former first-round pick, showed promise with a standout play last season, but has struggled with consistency over his career. In 2025, Burks made just 10 catches for 130 yards. The Commanders are counting on him to elevate his game under new offensive strategies from David Blough, aiming for a breakthrough performance in his fifth NFL season.
