This is the highest a Mizzou receiver has been selected in the draft since Jeremy Maclin went No. 19 overall in 2009. It’s also the 15th time in the past 20 years that Mizzou has had two or more players chosen in the draft. Burden had a drop off in terms of pure production after his breakout 2023 season.

(CAL TOBIAS/ROCK M NATION) Although getting struck by lightning is extremely uncommon, hundreds of people have died. At some point is his life, Luther Burden III was struck by lightning. Instead of killing him, it made him into an unstoppable football force who spent years flat-out embarrassing anyone who dared to challenge his excellence.
