He started the 2017 season with a 3 game suspension for his Pre-season hit in the Chiefs game. While I thought the NFL punished him too harshly for that hit, it was in the head & neck area & likely would be a penalty now under the New rules.
Burfict seemed to tone himself down in the 2017 regular season which is a good sign that he may tone himself down even more going forward to adjust to the 2018 rules. Don't remember any ankle twists at the end of plays in 2017.
The Bodyweight rule worries me some with Burfict going forward as he likes driving people into the ground. Holding back on certain head and neck area shots also has to happen.
The suspensions hitting his wallet may help him take the next toning down step he will need to take to show he gets it.
