The Chicago Bears are still adding additional weapons to Ben Johnson’s offense. On Thursday night, the Bears drafted Michigan tight end Colston Loveland with the 10th overall pick in the NFL draft. Chicago seems very keen on adding additional weapons for the offense to help out Caleb Williams, and that trend has continued into the second round of the NFL draft.
The Bears have added another stud receiver to complement DJ Moore and Rome Odunze. Ryan Poles and Chicago have selected Missouri wide receiver Luther Burden with the 39th overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft.
Burden was expected by many to be taken in the first round of the draft, but he shockingly fell to Chicago. The speedy wide reciever will be another great talent for quarterback Caleb Williams.
Chicago Bears fans are absolutely ecstatic over the Luther Burden selection
Many Bears fans are very hyped up over the shocking selection. Bears fans have been going crazy on the social media platform X since Burden was selected.
We didnt need Luther Burden.

Luther Burden was the best Illinois HS player that I’d seen in person since Antwaan Randle-El. Now they’re together with the #Bears

Bears second-year wide receiver Rome Odunze also joined in on the excitement, posting on his Instagram story about the selection and tagging Burden in his post.
“Rome Odunze responds to the Bears picking Luther Burden. Bears offense is kinda crazy”

It’s awesome to see that the Bears are building a potentially stacked offense. A wide receiver room of DJ Moore, Rome Odunze, and Luther Burden should bring a lot of explosiveness for the 2025 season.
