1. Luther Burden (Wide Receiver)

When you sign a top-three player in the country and the top-ranked wide receiver recruit in the country, he becomes an easy selection to be an instant impact player.

That is exactly what Missouri is going to be getting with Luther Burden next fall. Burden surprised many fans when he decided to go to Missouri over schools like Georgia and Alabama. He is the most talented receiver that Missouri has had since Dorial Green-Beckham.

Unlike Green-Beckham, Burden does not possess outstanding size at just 6-0/200 pounds. However, he makes up for it by being an excellent route runner with great hands. He is not a burner with his speed but is more than capable of being a downfield threat.
