Broncos likely to draft receiver Luther Burden III

Luther Burden III, a wide receiver from the Missouri Tigers, is expected to be a top pick in the upcoming 2025 NFL Draft. He has had a strong playing career but faced injuries during the 2024 season that affected his performance. Despite this, Burden managed to catch 61 passes for 676 yards and six touchdowns. A recent projection has Burden being drafted 20th overall by the Denver Broncos, where he would join quarterback Bo Nix. The Broncos already have strong receivers like Courtland Sutton and Marvin Mims, but Burden would add versatility to the team as a player who excels in short and intermediate routes. Nix had a standout rookie season in 2024, completing over 66% of his passes and throwing for nearly 3,800 yards. He also contributed four rushing touchdowns. The addition of Burden could enhance the Broncos' offense, making it more dynamic and exciting. The 2025 NFL Draft is set to take place on April 24, just a month away. Burden and many other hopefuls will soon learn where they will start their professional careers.
