Meet the Prospect: Luther Burden III

How he stacks up: Yates lists Burden as No. 28 on his Big Board of the Top 32 prospects in the class. NFL Media analyst Daniel Jeremiah lists Burden as No. 31 on his most recent version of his Top 50 players.

Burden comes in at No. 20 in Dan Brugler of The Athletic’s list of the Top 100 players in the draft.

“With just one 100-yard receiving performance in 2024, Burden wasn’t able to build on his All-America sophomore season as the entire Missouri offense struggled — but there were enough flashes to tease his high-level talent,” Brugler wrote. “Because of his run-after-catch skills, Burden saw a high-volume of quick hitters and crossers, which showcased his any-direction burst and physicality to give defenders the shake.”

NFL.com analyst Bucky Brooks released his list of the Top 5 players at every position in the class and Burden comes in at No. 2 among the group of receivers behind only Arizona’s Tetairoa McMillan. No. 3 is Emeka Egbuka (Ohio State), No. 4 Tre Harris (Mississippi) and No. 5 Isaiah Bond (Texas).

NFL.com lead writer Eric Edholm puts Burden at No. 26 and the fourth best receiver in the class on his list of the 100 Top Players.

ESPN’s Matt Miller updated his Top 50 prospects this week and Burden comes in at No. 13. Jordan Reid has Burden at No. 30 in his Top 50 prospects.

What he had to say: “I got a mentality (of) as soon as I get the ball, trying to score, trying to put my team in the best position to be successful,” Burden said at the Combine. “I feel like I’m different in every aspect, so I mean, my skillset is good for me, and I can’t wait to show it.”

Branson, Missouri’s police chief talks ICE agreement – Missourinet

Branson, Missouri’s police chief talks ICE agreement – Missourinet

The resort city of Branson in southwest Missouri is awaiting final approval of an agreement with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for assistance in combatting crimes committed by illegal immigrants.

Police Chief Eric Schmitt told Missourinet that a group of police officers would be trained to conduct immigration-related activities, including taking undocumented immigrants into custody.

“We have had sporadic issues where we have people that will come in and basically live in a hotel and intimidate others that are around them in the hotel, whether they are documented immigrants or residents of the U.S.,” Schmitt said.

He said these complaints are often not prosecuted.

“(The victims are) not willing to press charges because they’re worried,” Schmitt said. “And so, this would give us the ability when we have probable cause to make the arrest for a criminal violation, but it’s not necessarily a case that our prosecutor would take because we don’t have a victim pressing charges. It does provide us another tool with hopefully removing the problem individual from Branson.”

The officers would also respond to complaints about intoxicated or erratic driving, driving without a license, and other such incidents involving illegal immigrants. Schmitt also told Missourinet what the agreement would not be used for.

“It is not my officers going down the street and stopping anybody that has different skin color, anything along those lines and asking for proof of residency,” he said. “It is not us stopping a mom or dad driving kids to school with no other violations and asking to see papers.”

Training won’t begin until the agreement is finalized and background checks on the officers are conducted. The goal is to have at least two immigration-trained police officers on duty per shift.
