Ben Johnson makes eye-opening Amon-Ra St. Brown comparison for Luther Burden

Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson sees he sees the same relentless mindset in Luther Burden that helped turn Amon-Ra St. Brown into one of the NFL's elite receivers. Johnson, who coached St. Brown during their time together in Detroit, said Burden approaches the game with a similar competitive edge and relentless desire to improve. “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, and it’s carried over into the spring and summer as well," Johnson said. "He’s been a regular in our 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.” It's high praise considering St. Brown has developed into one of the league's premier playmakers, but Johnson's comments reinforce the growing belief that Burden's ceiling extends far beyond his rookie production.
