I won’t go as far as to suggest that Ben Johnson has brainwashed his players, but the response Luther Burden III had to a question about looking forward to Bears-Packers games this year sounded like something you’d expect from the head coach and not a second-year player who leaned into the rivalry as a rookie.
“I’m just looking forward to Week 1,” Burden said. “Whoever is on the week that week, that’s what I’m looking for.”
That is the most coach-friendly reply Burden could have given. Sure, he could have leaned further into Bears-Packers lore with a dagger or a zinger of a quote. Instead, Luther Burden III is all about the team’s Week 1 game against the Carolina Panthers.
For the full Luther Burden III media session, you can watch the video below. And if I’ve embedded it correctly, it should begin when Burden’s portion of media availability kicks off:
Luther Burden III was a quote machine at OTAs
Here are some other notable quotes from Burden from his Thursday media availability.
On if he feels like he’s on the verge of a breakout: I feel like only the real know, man. If you know, you know. I’m just locked in every single day coming here ready to work, ready to get better, ready to get coached up, and ready to win games. What he learned from DJ Moore: “Just how to be a pro. He was probably the first guy in here every morning I came in and that was about 6:30, 7 o’clock a.m. Just seeing how he takes care of his body, how he prepares himself for practice, games, and just picking his brain was great.” On what’s next now that DJ Moore is no longer here: “I just feel like somebody else in the room has got to step up. You’ve got to step up when your number is called. DJ was a great player for us. A great leader for us. A great leader for the room. Somebody’s gotta step up” What does stepping up look like? “Making plays, knowing what you’re supposed to do, knowing how you’re supposed to do it the right way. Detailed up. Shoot. That’s pretty much it.” Sergio Estrada-Imagn Images Luther Burden III sharing what he did in the offseason to be ready to take the next step: “I was here. I was just here working. Working, working, working. … I was just trying to get bigger, faster, stronger. Get more familiar with the playbook. Make sure I come in comfortable so I can play faster.” On why he feels he’ll have a better opportunity to put on a show this year: “I feel like you just go out there, you make plays, and Coach Ben is going to want to give you the ball more. So go out there, make a play, and Coach Ben is going to get you right.” Luther Burden shares a Zavion Thomas scouting report: “He’s an electric player. He had a great fade ball for us. He’s going to be a great player for us and make big plays for us this year. He’s going to be excited to watch.” What’s the best part of playing for Ben Johnson? “Winning. Good, better, best, baby.”It truly feels like things are lining up for a Luther Burden III breakout season in 2026. The rising second-year receiver finished his rookie campaign with a flurry. He made marquee moments in big games. Burden’s development throughout his first year as a pro has positioned him for a bigger slice of the targets pie this season. And with DJ Moore off to Buffalo, Burden has a chance to make an even bigger name for himself. No wonder Ben Johnson is buying stock.
