That's true. I met Vontaze Burfict at training camp and his football IQ would land him on the cast of Scorpion. I urge you to look up the interview with Vontaze and his mother from maybe 2013 or so. You'll see he is a lot sharper than his public persona leads people to believe. I remember his mother telling a story about Vontaze calling from his first training camp in 2012. He said, "Mama, that Coach Zimmer! I am absolutely frightened of that man. He scares me."
"Vontaze," his mother replied, "That's exactly the kind of coach you want to play for. Stay quiet, let him teach you and he'll make you great."
