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.

CEILING GRADE ANALYSIS

High-End Starter Potential (65-69)
A player expected to become a top-tier starter within their first few years. They possess strong physical tools and good technical skills but may have some limitations in their game. With development, they can reach near-elite levels and provide consistent impact at their position.
