"I feel like he's a great quarterback. I feel like great quarterbacks need great receivers. So, perfect fit," Burden said.

New head coach Ben Johnson continues to bolster the offense, as Burden joins tight end Colston Loveland (drafted 10th overall) as back-to-back skill position players added for quarterback Caleb Williams. He'll join a receiver group also featuring DJ Moore and Rome Odunze, who shared his excitement about the selection.

Falling to the second round initially threw Luther Burden III for a loss but the Missouri receiver took a more positive view Saturday toward the task ahead.
