Chicago Bears’ Ben Johnson ready to turn rookie loose vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
Chicago Bears wide receiver Luther Burden is playing his way into a more prominent role in the offense, to no surprise of head coach Ben Johnson.
In last week’s Bears victory over the NFC North rival Minnesota Vikings, Burden saw his workload and its targets increase, a trend that sounds like it will continue in Sunday’s showdown against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and beyond.
Chicago Bears’ Ben Johnson confident in Luther Burden
Burden, Chosen by the Bears in the second round of April’s NFL Draft, was targeted a season-high five times by Caleb Williams, in Week 12, and surged past Olamide Zaccheaus in terms of routes run, perhaps foreshadowing what could be to come for the former Missouri standout.
“You get what you earn. And I think he’s earned the increased snaps,” Johnson told reporters, of Burden. “He’s steadily climbed.”
Burden could become part of a significant youth movvement around Williams, with rookie Colston Loveland beginning to heat up and last spring’s first-round pick Rome Odunze climbing Williams’ target hierarchy in recent weeks, as well.
It’s easy to see why Williams’ and Johnson’s confidence are building in Burden, as Pro Football Focus points out that the second-year quarterback boasts a stellar 126.3 passer rating when targeting Burden who is averaging a stellar 6.7 yards per reception after the catch.
With a season-defining closing stretch getting underway, Burden could play a significant factor in the Bears’ offense from here on out.
