Luther Burden Interview

[msadows]

Dude legit hates the media. Already love him

 

[Xplosive]

He has the charisma of a prune. The media could also stop asking him 10 different times about why he was working out after the 1st round.

I get it he's disappointed he wasn't a 1st rounder, get to work Antwaan Randle-El... Tell him he's still a millionaire for playing a game so channel that anger and frustration into being the best version of himself on field.

 

[vabearsfan15]

Seems like the type of guy who will demand a trade in year 2 or 3 becuase he doesn't get enough targets.

 

[D.J. Moore]

I saw someone say his pro comp was dj and his pro media comp was also dj.

So.... A WR

 

[didshereallysaythat]

"Did it surprise you that the Bears drafted you?"

Yes

 

[vabearsfan15]

So.... A WR

Yeah, but some guys don't realize they are #2s or #3s in the NFL and end up ruining a good situation. They will then go to a bad team,with a bad offense and bad QB, fizz out before their first contract, and never get the highly anticipated second contract. It's better to take some time to develop and work your way into the league. Make yourself valuable as a #3 then you may get an opportunity as a #2 in due time.

Well, Burden supposedly has an attitude issue, so the Bears better reign him in. If they do, he will be a beast because he fits this offense perfectly. I am beyond ecstatic about this pick, and it turned the Loveland pick from a C to an A for me. Colston and Burden as the #3/4 option is absolutely insane

There are plenty around here bitching about him. That’s crazy to me.

I don’t think he wants to be in Chicago they had zero communication with him or pre draft? Wtf

 

[BaBaBlacksheep]

I didn’t catch any attitude issues or anything. Just seems like a kid that’s a little quiet in front of the camera. Not everyone is Randy Moss.

LOVE this pick. Favorite one of the draft.

Really? I’m not getting that vibe at all.

Probably had no communication because they didn’t think he would be there.

Fan. He reminds me of T Suggs

Yeah or he hates the media. They were asking him stupid questions. But even before the dumb questions started he didn’t seem thrilled maybe that’s his demeanor.

The bears did not meet with any of their 4 picks I don’t think.

Pretty rare for them.

But based on the war room video it sounds like he certainly has had conversations with Randle el

 

[zabavka]

Not a good public speaker but hopefully he speaks on the field.

Also the story of him being pissed not taken in the 1st and going to workout that night is gold.

I have to imagine that Randell El will be his mentor from day 1. Based on his reported attitude & being lazy on non-targeted routes, he sure better get his head & effort right. Hopefully no sulking & butting heads with coaches & teammates.

Does he block? Haven't read that he does, but "No block, no rock".

Targets may not be as high as his liking with so many options on this O, but hopefully they have more yards/TDs/time of possession due to success.

Seems like a thinner/quicker Deebo type, if they can get his head right to match this team.

Randle El will bust that ass if he doesn’t block or half asses his non-targeted routes. Too much competition for him to not do everything he’s asked. I’d challenge him hard and set the expectation that he has the ability to be the best WR on the team and that’s what they wanna see from him. The sky is the limit, just have to show up and put in the work.

 

[satchice]

He seemed super nervous. He grew up in a very hard situation, hopefully he finds a mentor that he can lean on to guide him though the first couple years.
