2025 Rookie Profile: Luther Burden III (WR) Missouri

Welcome to the 2025 fantasy football season. FullTime Fantasy‘s annual rookie reports next present 2025 Rookie Profile: Luther Burden III, the standout wide receiver from Missouri.

Resume

Luther Burden III, a wide receiver from Missouri, entered college as one of the most heralded recruits in the 2022 class. A consensus five-star prospect out of East St. Louis Senior High School, he was ranked as the No. 1 receiver nationally by ESPN, Rivals, and 247Sports and the No. 6 overall player per 247Sports Composite.

Named MaxPreps National Player of the Year, Burden dominated his senior season with 71 receptions for 1,174 yards and 20 touchdowns. Choosing Missouri over Alabama and Georgia, he became the Tigers’ highest-rated receiver signee in program history and only their fourth five-star recruit in the past two decades.

At Missouri, Burden earned First-Team All-SEC honors in 2023 and 2024, Second-Team All-America in 2023, and was a 2023 Biletnikoff Award semifinalist. He declared for the 2025 NFL Draft after his junior season.

College Stats

Burden’s 2023 season was a breakout, with 1,212 receiving yards ranking third in Missouri single-season history and five consecutive 100+ yard games, a feat only one other Tiger has achieved. His 2024 production dropped due to a combination of shoulder/arm injuries, an undisclosed illness, and a regressed Missouri passing game (team passing yards fell from 3,671 in 2023 to 2,535 in 2024). Despite this, he maintained an 85.9% catch rate and faced heavier defensive attention.

2022 (Freshman): 45 receptions, 375 yards (8.3 YPC), 6 receiving TDs; 18 rushes, 88 yards (4.9 YPC), 2 rushing TDs; 24 punt returns, 251 yards (10.5 avg), 1 punt-return TD

2023 (Sophomore): 86 receptions, 1,212 yards (14.1 YPC), 9 TDs; 13 rushes, 75 yards (5.8 YPC); started all 13 games

2024 (Junior): 61 receptions, 676 yards (11.1 YPC), 6 TDs; 9 rushes, 115 yards (12.8 YPC), 2 TDs; started 10 of 12 games

Career Totals: 192 receptions, 2,263 yards (11.8 YPC), 21 TDs; 40 rushes, 278 yards (7.0 YPC), 4 TDs; 24 punt returns, 251 yards (10.5 avg), 1 TD

Measurables

Burden’s measurables reflect a compact, explosive athlete. His below-average height and arm length limit his catch radius, but his elite speed and agility shine in open-field scenarios. Smaller hands are a minor concern, though his drop rate (3.5% over his final two seasons) suggests reliable ball skills.

Height: 5-11

Weight: 206 pounds

Arm Length: 31.25”

Hand Size: 8.5”

40-Yard Dash: 4.41 seconds (95th percentile)

10-Yard Split: 1.54 seconds (90th percentile)

Vertical Jump: Not publicly reported

Broad Jump: Not publicly reported

Other: Elite speed score (88th percentile), 28% career target-per-route-run rate (3rd in 2025 WR class), 0.49 missed tackles forced per reception.

2025 NFL Mock Draft 2.0

2025 NFL Mock Draft 2.0

This 2025 NFL Mock Draft is courtesy of Matt Brandon. Also, check out the previous 2025 NFL Mock Draft here.

As the 2025 NFL Draft nears, front offices league-wide are finalizing their evaluations. For many franchises—particularly those with early first-round picks—the draft is a pivotal moment that can define their future. This mock draft examines how each team might navigate the first round and projects how the next crop of elite prospects could transition to the NFL. The Tennessee Titans hold the No. 1 pick, and their direction seems clear as draft night approaches. Let’s dive into the selections!

1. Tennessee Titans: QB Cam Ward, Miami

The Titans are poised to select Miami’s Cam Ward with the top pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Barring an irresistible trade offer from a team like the New York Giants, Tennessee will stay put and aim to revitalize the franchise with a dynamic new quarterback.

2. Cleveland Browns: WR/CB Travis Hunter, Colorado

Travis Hunter climbs to his highest spot yet in my mock drafts. While pairing Myles Garrett with Abdul Carter would terrify opposing offenses, Kevin Stefanski and the Browns won’t pass on the draft’s most electrifying talent. Hunter’s two-way brilliance begs the question: Will he focus on wide receiver or cornerback in the NFL?

3. New York Giants: EDGE Abdul Carter, Penn State

The Giants would leap at the chance to grab Ward or Hunter if either slips to No. 3, but with both likely gone, they’ll turn to the best available talent. Abdul Carter’s raw potential and upside make him irresistible, even with Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux already in tow. The Giants’ Super Bowl history underscores the value of a dominant defensive line—Carter could be the key to reclaiming that edge.

4. New England Patriots: OL Will Campbell, LSU

Will Campbell edges out Missouri’s Armand Membou as my top offensive lineman in this class. The Patriots will prioritize the LSU product’s ability to anchor left tackle, giving Drake Maye a reliable blindside protector. Campbell may not reach All-Pro heights, but his NFL readiness makes him a safe bet to bolster New England’s line.

5. Jacksonville Jaguars: DL Mason Graham, Michigan

Mason Graham is the only top-five constant across my four mock drafts. Jacksonville’s defensive front has talent but lacks a game-changing interior force. Graham, despite an injury-marred 2024, brings elite traits and pairs with Josh Hines-Allen and Travon Walker to form a fearsome pass-rush trio.

6. Las Vegas Raiders…

2025 Rookie Profile: Travis Hunter (WR/CB) Colorado

Welcome to the 2025 fantasy football season. FullTime Fantasy‘s annual rookie reports examine the reigning Heisman Trophy Winner, 2025 Rookie Profile: Travis Hunter.

Resume

Travis Hunter Jr. is widely regarded as one of the most versatile players in college football history. Born on May 18, 2003, in West Palm Beach, Florida, Hunter moved to Georgia as a teenager and emerged as a standout at Collins Hill High School in Suwanee, Georgia. As a five-star recruit—the No. 1 overall prospect in the 2022 class per 247Sports and Rivals—he shocked the recruiting world by committing to Jackson State, an FCS program, under head coach Deion Sanders, over powerhouse Florida State.

After one season with the Tigers, Hunter followed Sanders to Colorado in 2023, where he redefined two-way stardom. In 2024, he capped his college career with a Heisman Trophy, becoming the first player to win both the Chuck Bednarik Award (top defensive player) and Fred Biletnikoff Award (top wide receiver), alongside a slew of other accolades including the Walter Camp Award, AP Player of the Year, and unanimous All-American honors…
