Luther Burden figures to play a prominent role in the Missouri offense this season, but in the mean time, his image and signature will be displayed in local grocery stores across the state.
The high-profile freshman wide receiver has a name, image and likeness deal with Old Vienna, a St. Louis company that makes potato chips. The company is releasing a special edition honey barbecue version of its red hot riplets with Burden’s picture and signature on every bag this month. They will be sold in Schnucks grocery stores across the state, PowerMizzou reported.

Burden was a key recruit for Eli Drinkwitz as he was the third consensus 5-star prospect to sign with Mizzou, and 247Sports ranked him No. 17 in the country and No. 2 wide receiver overall.
After a decommitment from Oklahoma, Burden chose Mizzou over the likes of Alabama and Georgia amid a reported 39 offers.
