The 2025 NFL Draft landscape has shifted with Missouri receiver Luther Burden III declaring for the draft, potentially attracting the attention of the Washington Commanders. The team, currently benefiting from the synergy between receiver Terry McLaurin and quarterback Jayden Daniels, is in need of a solid No. 2 option.
Despite Noah Brown's contributions, Burden's first-round talent could be too enticing for general manager Adam Peters to pass up. ESPN's Field Yates noted Burden's skills, especially his run-after-catch ability, as key assets that could enhance the Commanders' offense.
Over three seasons at Missouri, Burden has amassed nearly 200 receptions for over 2,200 yards and 21 touchdowns. His explosive speed and reliable hands make him a desirable addition to Washington's roster.
