Missouri Tigers’ star wide receiver Luther Burden III has announced that he will forgo the NFL and remain with the Tigers. The decision comes after Burden reportedly received a record-breaking $357 million offer from an undisclosed NFL team.
Burden’s commitment to Missouri is a testament to his dedication to the program and his teammates. Despite the life-changing financial opportunity presented by the NFL, Burden has chosen to prioritize his education and his loyalty to the Tigers.
“I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll be staying at Mizzou,” Burden said in a statement.
“This program has given me so much, and I’m excited to continue working with my coaches and teammates to achieve our goals. We’ve got a special group here, and I’m honored to be a part of it.”
Burden’s decision has been met with widespread praise from the Missouri faithful, who are ecstatic to see their star receiver return for another season.
The Tigers’ coaching staff is equally thrilled, as Burden’s presence will undoubtedly be a major factor in the team’s success in 2024.
“Luther is an exceptional young man, and we’re ecstatic that he’s chosen to remain a part of our program,” said Missouri head coach Eli Drinkwitz.
“His commitment to Mizzou is a testament to the strength of our program and the bond that exists between our players, coaches, and staff. We’re looking forward to seeing Luther continue to grow and thrive as a Tiger.”
