Report: Vontaze Burfict sliding off draft boards altogether

Mar 23, 2012, 10:12 PM | Updated: 11:25 pm

Vontaze Burfict could be on the verge of going from first
round pick to undrafted free agent over the span of about
seven months.

According to Rotoworld.com, NFL Network’s
Steve Wyche, on Path to the Draft, said Burfict has
already been removed from some draft boards.

And, he’s not the only who feels the former Sun Devil is
slipping.

“This guy had a second-round grade at one point,” noted
NFL Net’s Charley Casserly.

Burfict declared for the draft following his junior season
in Tempe, ending a career that had is share of ups and
downs.

In college, though, any question marks surrounding Burfict
stemmed from his emotions, as he was consistently flagged
for personal fouls due to late and excessively violent
hits.

However, an underwhelming offseason that has seen Burfict
struggle at the combine has NFL scouts concerned with his
ability to play at the next level.
