There’s a big reason Chicago Bears rookie Luther Burden could be in for bigger role
Chicago Bears second-round rookie wide receiver Luther Burden might be about to become an even bigger piece of the puzzle for quarterback Caleb Williams and the offense.
“He is very productive when he’s about to get the ball in his hands,” Bears head coach Ben Johnson recently said of Burden. “And there’s a strong argument that we should get it to him more.”
Just as Bears wide receivers have suddenly struggled with dropped passes, even with Williams playing some of the best football of his young career, Buren is turning heads among the coaching staff and making the most of his opportunities when he’s been targeted.
Luther Burden rising for the Chicago Bears
Burden has been flying just under the radar through the first nine games of his career, but that could be about to change, in a significant way.
Over at Pro Football Focus, analyst Lauren Gray lists Burden as the No. 16-ranked rookie across the league, after his strong performance late in Sunday’s 24-20 comeback win over the New York Giants.
“Burden finished the day with a 77.2 PFF receiving grade and a 118.8 passer rating when targeted,” Gray writes for PFF. “The Missouri product has now caught 16 of 18 passes for 222 yards this season. He ranks fifth on the team in average depth of target (7.8), yet he is the only Bears receiver averaging more than two yards per route run (2.71). Burden also leads Chicago’s receiving group in PFF receiving grade (77.5) and passer rating when targeted (136.6, minimum of 15 targets).”
As the Bears continue to search for the most consistent combination of receivers, with the most significant upside, Burden’s reliability and Williams’ clearly growing confidence in the second-round pick make it easy to see what’s pushing him up the depth chart and into a more prominent role on offense.
