Burfict whisperer

I would even argue that he's come a long way in keeping himself together since college.  Sure, he has an occasional lapse in judgment, but he certainly makes up for it the intensity and fire that he brings to the defense.  With Burfict on the field, this defense is one of the best, if not the best, in the NFL.

All these media types were talking about how unstoppable Pittsburgh's offense was.  Well, the scored 10 points at home against the Bengals and 18 in the playoffs.  Burfict may not be the best player on the defense, but he definitely takes the D to another level.

Big reason why he went undrafted instead of in the first round.

People want (expect?) him to be Luke Keuchly...if he was Luke Keuchly, he would have been drafted and drafted early.

Even though he wasn't your typical undrafted player, it's pretty awesome to get such a good player who was a UDFA.
