The Jets are using one of their official pre-draft visits on Arkansas wide receiver Treylon Burks, a source told the Daily News.

The news of Gang Green doing their due diligence on Burks comes a day after the Jets struck out in the Tyreek Hill sweepstakes when the former Chiefs star chose instead to sign with the Miami Dolphins.

So the search for additional receiver help for Zach Wilson continues.

While they believe Elijah Moore can be the focal point of their passing attack, more weapons for Wilson are a must. The core of Corey Davis, Braxton Berrios and Moore is a solid one, but more help is needed.

Now the Jets will center their attention on the receiver prospects in next month’s draft to add higher-end talent. Burks is one player the Jets are interested in and will bring him in for one of their 30 available prospect visits.

The Florham Park visit won’t feature an on-field workout as the structure is set up more like a job interview. It will prove the Jets an opportunity to learn more about Burks the person to see if he could be a good fit for Robert Saleh’s club.

They’ll also look to challenge his football intelligence to see if the junior out of Arkansas possesses a strong football IQ for the Jets’ west coast offense that requires smart and vertical receivers.

Burks is an interesting prospect because he’s dynamic with the ball in his hands but didn’t show much of an NFL route tree.

Burks had 66 catches for 1,104 yards and 11 touchdowns in 2021 as the 6-2, 225-pounders production came through explosive plays. That speed seen on film didn’t translate to the 40-yard dash at the NFL scouting combine, though, as he logged just a 4.55

Burks was the centerpiece of the Razorbacks’ offense and was used like a Swiss army knife. He ran routes out of the back field to exploit mismatches. He lined up in the slot a bunch so defenders couldn’t jam him, which allowed him to get in space. And when he got the ball, he created magic.

But he wasn’t asked to run many of the routes that NFL receivers are expected to run. He also didn’t line up on the outside very often, but when he did he showed he could win vertically. Against Alabama, Missouri and Texas A&M, he produced long touchdowns with a go-route against man coverage at the outside spot.

Some have compared Burks to Deebo Samuels of the San Francisco 49ers. But scouts I’ve spoken to have cautioned against that comparison and wonder if he’s another version of the Jaguars’ Laviska Shenault.

GANG GREEN CHECK OUT TOP OHIO STATE WRs

The Jets aren’t leaving any stone unturned when it comes to scouring receiver options in the draft. Gang Green sent representatives to Ohio State’s pro day Wednesday as projected first round receiver Garrett Wilson and Chris Olave were present.

Wilson finished with 70 catches for 1,058 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2021 for the Buckeyes. His game resembles that of Stefon Diggs of the Bills because of his elite route running and big-play ability after the catch.

He was in the discussion to be the first receiver taken off the board prior to the combine. But there were questions about his top-end speed. Then he ran a 4.38 and squashed those concerns.

Olave didn’t get as much hype prior to the combine, but then he produced a 4.39, 40-yard dash which solidified him as a first-round prospect. He finished with 936 yards and 14 touchdowns in 2021. And his game is comparable to Washington Commanders’ Terry McLaurin.
