HOUSTON – Missouri star wide receiver Luther Burden III visited the Texans, according to a league source.
He also visited the Dallas Cowboys, Denver Broncos, Tennessee Titans and the Las Vegas Raiders.
Burden is a fast, physical wide receiver who excelled at contested catches and is known for his toughness and route versatility.
At 6-foot, 206 pounds, Burden has run the 40-yard dash in 4.41 seconds with a 10-yard split of 1.54 seconds.
He caught 61 passes for 676 yards and six touchdowns last season and was named first-team All-Southeastern Conference. Two seasons ago, he was a second-team All-American with 86 catches for 1,212 yards and nine touchdowns.
Inconsistency at quarterback was an issue during his collegiate career, but Burden largely overcame those circumstances.
A former blue-chip recruit who caught 20 touchdowns as an all-state selection as a senior growing up in St. Louis, Burden was one of the most sought after football players in Missouri.
