I will never forget the interview with Vontaze Burfict’s mother back in 2012 because she struck me as a very wise woman. She told the interviewer she received a call from Vontaze during his first training camp. He said, “Mama, I’m scared.”

“Of what?” she asked.

“Coach Zimmer, Mama,” Vontaze answered. “That man scares me to death.”

Mama Burfict had the perfect answer. “Vontaze,” she replied. “That’s the kind of man you want to play for. You listen to everything he says and do everything he says and he’ll make you great.”
