yeah, I seem to remember something about that. But wasn't this guy a star at ASU? You couldn't turn on the tape?

Yeah sometimes they put too much stock into the combine and not paying enough attention to production on the field with that said he was an abomination at the combine so you couldnt totally ignore it

Headcase and im convinced a lot of NFL scouts are idiots.

Ya say that, but there's a lot of dudes who end up eventually proving them reports right.

So far so good for Burfict though, he's been playing great and doing what he needs to do off the field too.

After his sophomore year at ASU, I remember some projecting him as a top 5 pick.

But for some reason, the hype died down during his junior year.He all of a sudden became a "headcase"

One thing you need to know is teams won intentionally not draft a guy, usually there's some legitimacy to a reputation.

He easily could have just had a few instances that got blown up, but for a dude to go 250 something picks without getting picked, i`m sure it was more than just rumors.

Supposedly it was a lot of character issues.

there was no supposed to it, watching ASU games you could clearly see that he's on of them dudes who has issues controlling his anger, and was prone to doing the wrong thing at the right time.

going to Cincy was probably the best thing for him tho.... Marvin Lewis has Rey Maualuga on the right track.

I do wonder how many teams benefited from taking a "risk" on "problem players" as opposed to getting burned and wasting a pick.

Always thought dude was gonna be good from his ASu days. He made so many plays. His combine was trash tho. He's the right amount of crazy you need on defense.

I'm not surprised at all I wanted the raiders to get him last year after reading about him. He just needed to get in shape and I knew this dude would beast. I don't understand how so many scouts are so dumb. With that said Kuechly is a beast too but I'd take burfict over him.

For some reason, the Thread Title needs a (No Homo) when you read it out loud.
