Luther Burden III, a standout receiver from Missouri, showcases impressive physical attributes, including a 4.41-second 40-yard dash. Despite his commendable statistics, including 61 receptions and six touchdowns last season, concerns arise regarding his reliance on short and manufactured touches, with a significant portion of his receptions occurring within ten yards of the line of scrimmage. Analysts express apprehension about his route running, particularly his tendency to not run routes at full speed, which may hinder his transition to the NFL. Comparisons are drawn between Burden and Jalen Reagor, highlighting a shared concern about work ethic and overall performance under pressure.
