Luther Burden III, a standout wide receiver for the Missouri Tigers, is widely regarded as one of the top prospects for the 2025 NFL Draft. He will join several teammates at the upcoming NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, where analyst Bucky Brooks of NFL.com suggests he has a prime opportunity to elevate his draft stock. While his specific combine activities remain unclear, Brooks emphasizes Burden’s potential to shine, particularly given his versatility as a dynamic playmaker capable of excelling both outside and in the slot.
Brooks notes that while NFL teams often prioritize prototypical WR1s, Burden’s elite catch-and-run skills, agility, and expertise in option routes make him a valuable asset for schemes emphasizing explosive playmaking. His performance in drills and interviews could generate significant interest among scouts and executives.
In his preliminary 2025 mock draft, Brooks projects Burden to be selected 21st overall by the Pittsburgh Steelers. The draft will commence on April 24, 2025, at Green Bay’s Lambeau Field.
