Bears coach says what fans are starting to learn about Luther Burden III

One of the standouts of the Chicago Bears' training camp was no doubt rookie wide receiver Luther Burden III.

Coming in as a second-round pick, the expectations were already high for Burden, who has been seen as the future starting slot receiver to team up with DJ Moore and Rome Odunze. After dealing with a soft tissue injury at the beginning of camp, Burden worked his way into the good graces of his coaches and earned the respect of them and his teammates.

Burden finished the preseason with five receptions for 78 yards, including a 22-yard completion for his long.
