Bears' Luther Burden

Buzz builds for Bears' Luther Burden, even as 2nd-year WR leaps have proven tricky

Luther Burden is a wide receiver for the Chicago Bears entering his second NFL season. Bears players and coaches have praised him, calling him "the truth" and saying they are buying his stock. General manager Ryan Poles also added positive comments about Burden earlier this week. Despite the excitement, history shows that big jumps in performance from a receiver's first to second year are often difficult.
