About Vontaze Burfict

Vontaze DeLeon Burfict Jr. (born September 24, 1990) is an American football linebacker who is a free agent.
He was signed by the Bengals as an undrafted free agent in 2012. He played college football at Arizona State. Burfict has earned a reputation as a dirty player for multiple incidents throughout his career.He has accumulated $4,150,000 in fines and forfeited salary through his career.

Burfict was considered the most highly ranked football prospect Arizona State ever signed to a letter of intent, but had an up-and-down career for the Sun Devils. An All-American in 2010, Burfict was projected an early first round pick for the 2012 NFL Draft on the eve of his junior season. However, a mediocre on-field performance and poor pre-draft workouts deteriorated his draft stock. He went on to have a productive rookie season, starting 14 games and leading the team in tackles.
