Windy City Gridiron on Luther Burden
From the article
Luther Burden III figures to be the biggest beneficiary of Moore not being in Chicago, as he'll slide into a full-time starter role now. Last year, as a rookie, Burden played in 15 games with 5 starts, and he caught 47 passes for 652 yards. He's been mentioned as a breakout player by several analysts this offseason, which I agree with. There's just something different about the way Burden moves on a football field, and I expect him to get at least 80 touches this season.
STACKED’s take
Burden poised for breakout as full-time starter with 80+ projected touches after Moore trade.
Burden figures to be the biggest beneficiary of DJ Moore's departure, sliding into a full-time starter role. As a rookie in 2025, he played 15 games with 5 starts and caught 47 passes for 652 yards. The source agrees with Kay Adams consensus that he's a breakout candidate, citing his distinctive movement on the field and projecting at least 80 touches this season. QB Caleb Williams endorsed him: "He makes the first guy miss every time. That's his trait. He catches everything. Easy passes. Hard passes. He's a friendly receiver; is what we call it as a QB. His route running and things like that, he's super friendly. And when you get the ball in his hands, he makes that first player miss quite often."
