Hog-hunting Arkansas WR Treylon Burks could fill big need on Detroit Lions offense

INDIANAPOLIS — Treylon Burks has some of the best hands of any receiver in this year's NFL draft, and he developed them in the most unique of ways.

Burks said at the NFL combine Wednesday that he spent his days as a youth hunting feral hogs with his bare hands in rural Arkansas.

"You have to go out there with dogs and dogs go out and find them and then we come up behind them and tackle them, take them down," Burks said.

Not just take them down, kill them by knifing them in the heart.
