31. Luther Burden III, WR, Missouri
There were a lot of expectations on Burden as a five-star prospect coming out of high school in St. Louis, Missouri. He fulfilled them while staying in-state with the Missouri Tigers, becoming one of their best receivers in program history. The two-time All-SEC player recorded 192 receptions for 2,263 yards and 21 touchdowns in his three collegiate seasons. He was also a force to be reckoned with on special teams, averaging 10.5 yards a punt return in his career. "For Luther Burden to choose to come here, for him to work to prove that he's the best player on the team. ... He's one of the best players, if not the best player, to ever come to the University of Missouri and for him to make that decision changed the trajectory of my career in our program,"
said Eli Drinkwitz, Missouri's head coach. Burden's athleticism is heralded, clocking a 4.41 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine. Analyst Lance Zierlein
compares Burden's game to New York Jets receiver Garrett Wilson, and believes Burden has even more to offer at the next level than what he displayed at Missouri.
