It's like him and and Keenan Allen and Juju Smith Schustster as some of the best day two wide receiver picks that the model's ever seen.

Elite efficiency makes him a high-upside breakout

JJ Zachary is high on Luther Burden, ranking him among the best day-two wide receiver prospects ever alongside Keenan Allen and Juju Smith-Schuster. Despite a low year-one PPG, his yards per route run efficiency is historically elite, ranking third since 2011 and comparable to early-career Odell Beckham Jr. and Martavis Bryant. Zachary expects him to thrive in a Ben Johnson-led offense, potentially filling an Amon-Ra St. Brown-esque 'layup' role that maximizes his after-the-catch ability, making him a potential WR1.
