‘Heating up’: Luther Burden vs. Tyrique Stevenson video goes viral

The Chicago Bears’ training camp is in full swing, with their players putting in work, including Luther Burden and Tyrique Stevenson. The wide receiver is entering his second NFL season, while the defensive back will play in his fourth.

Burden recorded 47 receptions for 652 yards and two touchdowns despite not being a full-time starter. He is set to play a bigger role and become a breakout star after the team moved DJ Moore in the offseason. The Missouri product will likely participate in more than the 39.8% he took part in last year.

Meanwhile, Stevenson appeared in 13 games last season. He amassed 49 combined tackles consisting of 13 assisted and 36 solo efforts, along with one interception. The 2026 campaign is crucial for him to secure a long-term deal as it is the final year of his rookie contract.

Training camp provides players a chance to prove themselves to secure more playing time for the season. Burden aims to be a big part of the rotation and potentially start full-time along with Rome Odunze. Stevenson, on the other hand, has solidified his role but needs a standout year to land a lucrative deal with the franchise.

Chicago faces a challenging road ahead as it has the toughest schedule in the NFL. The good news is the team carries a lot of momentum on its side following last year’s NFC North win. Burden and Stevenson are eager to help lead the Bears to a deeper playoff run and potentially compete for a Super Bowl.
