B/R NFL scout Dame Parson described Burden before the draft as a "explosive and dynamic run-after-catch threat" who would "benefit from being linked to a creative offensive coordinator who will utilize his full skill set to help the offense."

While Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver Luther Burden III went through rookie minicamp, it's safe to say he didn't love the number on his practice jersey. The Missouri product wore No. 3 for the Tigers, but jumped all the way up to No. 87 with the Bears. And when he was asked how he landed on No. 87, he couldn't help but laugh.
