“Not being picked, going undrafted I have a big chip on my shoulder and I’m ready to hit somebody,” Burfict told Joe Reedy of the Cincinnati Enquirer.

If you do not remember Burfict signed a deal with the Bengals as a rookie free agent and will be playing middle linebacker.  Let’s see if he makes the roster and makes good on that threat to hit someone…

…as long as it isn’t me.

 

]]> Vontaze Burfict’s Nightmare Offseason Continues: Fails Drug Test http://www.mockdrafthq.com/2012/04/vontaze-burficts-nightmare-offseason-continues-fails-drug-test.html Wed, 25 Apr 2012 16:54:25 +0000 http://www.mockdrafthq.com/site/?p=3325 One day before the BIG DAY and we have some last minute news coming through the wire. Arizona State LB Vontaze Burfict (former projected first rounder) has apparently failed a drug test and all teams have been informed. Things arent looking good for him.

First he comes to the combine out of shape, has back and forth words with his ASU coaches via the media, and now this. I think it is a long shot that he gets drafted.

Jay Glazer with the news:

NFL teams were informed this week of 2 more players of note who have flunked drug tests: ASU LB Vontaze Burfict and Va Tech CB JayRon Hosley
