The Chicago Bears got a steal in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft with the selection of Missouri wide receiver Luther Burden III with the 39th overall pick. Burden is yet another playmaker for new head coach Ben Johnson's offense.

The Chicago Bears selected University of Missouri wide receiver Luther Burden III with the No. 39 overall pick in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft.

As for his new team: The Bears had several perceived draft needs under new head coach Ben Johnson. They’d already selected a tight end in Colston Loveland at No. 10 overall, and several mocks projected they’d look at running backs, edge rushers, safeties or offensive tackles.
