Luther Burden III — NFL Mock Draft Roundup 2.0
Leading up to the 2025 NFL Draft, we will track where Missouri Tigers wide receiver Luther Burden III appears in the latest NFL mock drafts.
Luther Burden III NFL Mock Drafts
Here are some of the latest mock drafts in which Burden has appeared:
No. 20 overall — Denver Broncos
Between Courtland Sutton and Marvin Mims, the Broncos have two guys who can make plays downfield. How about a receiver who can do all the underneath stuff and provide a serious YAC threat?
No. 23 overall — Green Bay Packers
Jordan Love's emergence as one of the NFL's better young gunslingers is all the more impressive given that the Packers lack a true No. 1 receiver. With two of his favorite targets — Romeo Doubs and Christian Watson — each entering the final year of their respective rookie deals, the Packers might see Burden's YAC skills as the perfect fit.
No. 28 overall — Detroit Lions
Don't let Burden's 2024 stats fool you -- he's a premier receiver prospect with upside galore.
No. 23 overall — Green Bay Packers
The Packers buck their trend eschewing first-round wide receivers for a unique talent in Luther Burden III. The injury concerns for Romeo Doubs (concussions) and Christian Watson (ACL) force their hand here. Burden is not only sure-handed, but also a playmaker with the ball in his hands. Green Bay could use both.
