Cam Ward Hyping Up Treylon Burks
Tennessee Titans rookie first-round quarterback Cam Ward said that wide receiver Treylon Burks (knee) is going to be one of the team's top receivers this year and said he's excited to have him out there, according to Titans beat writer Jim Wyatt.

SI.com's Patricia Traina reports that New York Giants quarterbacks Jameis Winston and rookie Jaxson Dart were splitting reps in 11-on-11 drills at training camp practice on Thursday.
