Just wanted to throw this in there for those who don't have ESPN+. Always enjoy seeing mentions of our guys.

Who has the best hands?

The top receiver in the 2022 class has arguably the best set of hands in recent memory. Burden burst onto the scene at the Under Armour Future 50 event as a junior, winning the best hands competition and following it with an MVP runner-up performance at that game, breaking the contest open on the first play with a 65-yard touchdown (fifth-longest in game history). While he has great concentration and big, soft mitts to bring down the tough grab, his leaping and ball adjustment in the air make him special.

How he fits at Missouri: Burden reminds us of Dez Bryant at the same stage. He's a highly competitive, ultra-skilled prospect who should be a day-one starter at Missouri as a true freshman.
