Vontaze DeLeon Burfict, Jr. (pronounced ;〔http://www.bengals.com/team/roster/vontaze-burfict/941b89df-2666-4d9f-810e-9b889ba417eb/〕 born September 24, 1990) is an American football linebacker for the Cincinnati Bengals of the National Football League (NFL). He was signed by the Bengals as an undrafted free agent in 2012. He played college football at Arizona State. Burfict was considered the most highly ranked football prospect Arizona State ever signed to a letter of intent, but had an up-and-down career for the Sun Devils. An All-American in 2010, Burfict was projected an early first round pick for the 2012 NFL Draft on the eve of his junior season.〔〔〔 However, a mediocre on-field performance and poor pre-draft workouts deteriorated his draft stock. He went on to have a productive rookie season, starting 14 games and leading the team in tackles.〔(Burfict's impact on Bengals is unmatched )〕 ==High school career== Burfict attended Centennial High School in Corona, California, where he was part of an undefeated Huskies team that won a CIF title, a state championship with the help of quarterback Taylor Martinez, and was ranked No. 2 in the nation by ''USA Today'' in 2008. That year, Burfict led the Huskies with 159 tackles, two quarterback sacks, two interceptions and two fumble recoveries. Burfict participated in the US Army All-American Bowl and was the third-leading tackler for the West team. He also earned numerous All-American honors, including ''Parade''. As a junior, Burfict collected a team-high 130 tackles and added four sacks, two interceptions and one fumble recovery. He helped anchor a linebackers unit that included fellow Sun Devils Shelly Lyons and Brandon Magee. Corona Centennial finished the 2007 season as No. 24 on ''USA Today‘s'' Top 25. Burfict missed almost all of his sophomore season due to academic problems. He played in the 2009 U.S. Army All-American Bowl. Considered a five-star recruit by ''Rivals.com'' and ''Scout.com'', Burfict was listed as the No. 1 inside linebacker prospect in the nation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vontaze Burfict」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
