Patience was always going to be a virtue when it came to Chicago Bears wide receiver Luther Burden. A soft tissue injury that sidelined him during OTAs foretold a slow start to his rookie season, and in terms of sheer snaps that is what has happened.

In two of the last three games, Burden has become noticeable. He had a team-high 101 yards in Week 3, then coming out of the bye in Week 6 he had a team-high in receptions (four) with more receiving yards (51) than Rome Odunze (32) and DJ Moore (42).
