Treylon Burks is already having himself a year and it’s only April.
After he proposed to his girlfriend, Shelby Pearlman, in January, the Arkansas wideout was selected by the Titans with the 18th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft Thursday night.
When the first-round pick was announced, Burks was seen celebrating his fiancée family and friends at a draft party.
The future Mr. and Mrs. Treylon Burks both wore wedding white on draft night. He donned a white suit jacket with a matching undershirt and pants, while she stunned in a strapless slit dress.
Burks and Pearlman, who met at Arkansas, shared their engagement photos to Instagram and gushed about spending the rest of their lives together.
Now the couple will start their next chapter together in Tennessee after the Titans pulled off a draft day shocker — the team traded wideout A.J. Brown to the Eagles and pounced on Burks with the No. 18 overall pick they acquired in the deal with Philly.

Burks said he got the calll from the Titans first, then saw the news about that Tennessee had traded Brown on Instagram.
In four seasons with the Razorbacks, Burks made 146 receptions for 2,399 yards with 18 touchdowns.
