PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT

Luther Burden III is a highly versatile and dynamic slot receiver with explosive playmaking ability, particularly after the catch. His agility, burst, and elusiveness make him a threat to create big plays in both short-yardage and deep ball situations. Best suited to slot-heavy or motion-based systems, Burden offers alignment flexibility with potential as a punt returner. He would thrive in an offense that utilizes quick passes, option routes, and screens to get him in space, where his run-after-catch skills can maximize his impact.
