The Luther Burden hype isn't slowing down. If anything, it's heating up.
On Monday, Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson offered the strongest endorsement yet of Burden's future, comparing the second-year receiver to one of the NFL's premier playmakers: former Detroit Lions star pupil Amon-Ra St. Brown.
"St. Brown in Detroit, who I have a strong affinity for, he plays the game the same way," Johnson said. "I feel that from Luther. I know he wasn't a full-time starter for us a year ago, but the snaps that he did have, he's got that competitive edge and desire to be great. It's carried over into the spring and summer as well. He's been a regular in the building, working with our strength staff. He wants to be the most conditioned player on the team. Wants to be one of the strongest receivers on the team and just continues to soak in all the knowledge."
