Vontaze Burfict was a menacing linebacker at Arizona State two years ago, and projected to be a Top 10 pick in the 2012 NFL draft.

Burfict showed up to Bengals camp 15 pounds lighter than he was at the NFL combine – when he ran a turtle-like 5.09 40 – and he’s working out at middle linebacker. [Cincinnati.com]
