Missouri wide receiver Luther Burden III spoke with NFL on CBS' Aditi Kinkhabwala about his ideal quarterback as he prepares to join the professional ranks. A projected first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Burden named Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow his top choice.

Kinkhabwala asked Burden to choose between two given quarterbacks at a time until one remained. Ultimately, Burden picked Burrow over the likes of Jayden Daniels, Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes.

"Joe, he's gonna try to get you an opportunity. If it's fourth and short, he might just throw it, launch it," Burden told Kinkhabwala. "That's what you want as a receiver, big plays."

The Bengals currently hold the No. 17 pick in the first round of the Draft, meaning Cincinatti could potentially turn Burden's vision into a reality.
