In his three seasons at Arizona State, sports radio listeners in Phoenix never heard the words "coming up next, ASU linebacker Vontaze Burfict."

That's because Burfict never did a radio interview. In fact, he rarely spoke to any news gathering medium.

With the NFL Draft days away and his draft stock plummeted, Burfict did conduct a radio interview with Glenn Clark of WNST in Baltimore.

Burfict set the record straight on what he claims are inaccurate reports of his off-the-field behavior.

"The guy I am on the field, I'm not the same guy off the field. When I'm off the field, I'm more sitting down, more of a chill guy, don't do too much partying, and when I'm on the field I'm just angrier, don't like to lose, have a passion for the game and love to hit," Burfict said. "Me and off the field are just two different things and people have it mixed up. They think I'm the same people off the field and it's totally different."

Burfict's most interesting comments came when asked by Clark if he's worried about not getting drafted.

"Not really because I have been working so hard and God knows how hard I've been working. I'm truly blessed just to be in the position that I'm in right now," he responded. "If I don't get drafted then I will have to go back to school, but I love football so much that I won't give up on football. But I will go back to school and finish up my schooling and stuff like that and probably go somewhere else like Arena football or something but hopefully I make it to the NFL."

    I never want to see someone fail
    With that said, I hope Burfict goes undrafted, or is a 7th rounder. I say this because I feel he needs a kick in the face by maturity. Erickson was a terrible coach for Burfict and I am glad both have moved on, one by force, the other by his own accord.
