Burfict is not only crazy, that you could coach out him (maybe). But he ran a 5 second 40, come out early as a jr. after missing quite a few games. Got into a fight in the locker room, failed the combine drug test and lied. Then called around and said he was sorry for lying. Then blamed his coaching staff for all his problems. Now I got nothing against taking a chance on him as an udfa. He might stick for a while but I doubt for long.
The only reason you know his name is because he has made top plays with big hits and then kept his name in the news with all his drama. Its also not like he has first round talent and character problems that caused him to go undrafted. He is slow, cant cover and struggles getting off blocks.
Burfict had a tremendous sophomore year and he was viewed as a 1st RD talent coming into 2011. This past year he simply lost focus. I don't know who advised him to come out early, but that was just an awful move. All that aside, he has ability. Just needs to harness it and get in better shape and grow up a little. Maybe the light goes on now, I don't know. But he could be a steal for CIN.
