Former Mizzou WR Luther Burden III Has Yet to Reveal his Chicago Bears Uniform Number
After being selected by the Bears in the second round of the NFL Draft, former Mizzou wideout Luther Burden III recently took the time to introduce himself to the Chicago faithful. Talking with for a "Fast Facts" series, exploring their new rookies, the No. 39 overall pick revealed his favorite memory during his tenure with the Missouri Tigers; one that Mizzou fans are all too familiar with. Advertisement "Winning on a game-winning field goal against Kansas State [in 2023]," Burden said. "Fans rushed the field, it was pretty cool." The game-winning field goal he referenced was the 61-yard walk-off field goal Harrison Mevis booted on Sep. 16, 2023, to give the unranked Tigers a 30-27 upset-victory against then-No. 15 ranked Kansas stormed the field as the "Thiccer Kicker" set a new SEC record for the longest field goal in conference history. Along with his favorite memory on the field, Burden shared his secret talent of bowling, as well as his love for his two French bulldogs, Ghost and his new puppy, Dream. Advertisement "That's my son," Burden said. "Just seeing [Ghost] grow up, seeing how little he was and how big he is now, is amazing. He's always full of excitement and he loves to play. He's got a great vibe. He's coming to Chicago, and he can't wait. I also have a second puppy now named Dream." Missouri Tigers wide receiver Luther Burden III (3) runs with the ball Jay Biggerstaff-Imagn Images Unlike his French Bulldogs, one thing uncertain to be following Burden to Chicago is his No. 3 jersey number. "Has he discussed what number he will be wearing?" one user asked. "ANNOUNCE HIS NUMBER YOU COWARDS!!!" another user impatiently demanded. Burden wore No. 3 throughout his high school and collegiate careers, but the Bears have retired the number to honor former legend Bronko Nagurski who spent a nine-season stretch with the Bears (1930-37) as a fullback and a defensive tackle. Advertisement Out of respect for the Pro Football Hall of Famer's family, Burden will likely need to choose another number. Wide receivers typically choose a number in the single digits, teens or 80s, but on his new roster, the only available number not in use or retired would be No. 80. However, there is another sleeker, unconventional number that could make more of a statement: 0. If Burden were to pick "0", he would be the first Bears player in history to do so. He will hopefully make his decision soon so Bears fans can get their jersey orders in. Related: Mizzou Football Omitted from Another Post-Spring Ranking
