This Bears rookie was dubbed the best pick in 2025 NFL draft

The Chicago Bears made some impactful additions through the 2025 NFL draft, including a pair of playmakers for new head coach Ben Johnson. One of the best (and most surprising) selections was Missouri wide receiver Luther Burden III, who fell to Chicago at 39th overall in the second round.

Burden was considered a first-round prospect who fell right into the Bears' hands, and they just couldn't pass on him. He's speedy, explosive and can line up inside, outside or even out of the backfield. Simply put: Johnson might've gotten his Amon-Ra St. Brown in this Chicago offense.
