Deep into the fourth quarter on a steamy night in Athens, Ga., the score was tied. The player Georgia coach Mark Richt would later say “should be playing in the (NFL) right now” saw from his middle linebacker spot that the defensive front was lined up incorrectly. So he did the unthinkable. As the umpire walked away after marking the ball ready for play, Burfict pushed the official into the Georgia line of scrimmage to stop the play and allow the defense to reset. “I’ve never seen anything like it,” ASU quarterback Brock Osweiler says. “I said to one of our coaches, ‘Did he just do what I think he just did?’ ” And that’s just half the story. After the reset, with Georgia in a goal-line power formation, Burfict timed the snap, leapt over the line of scrimmage, his body flying into Bulldogs fullback Fred Munzenmaier and disrupting the play. As quickly as he landed, he popped up to his knees and pulled Munzenmaier down for a loss.

Yeah didn't he run in the 5.0's?


It took him a second "Pro-Day" to cut some weight and then he ran a 4.8. That is pretty good for a linebacker his size.

Love this guy. As already mentioned, that pic where he is pointing at Barkley is probably my favorite picture of the last decade is college football. I hated Barkley and loved him, and his anger in that picture is practically felt.

As a Bengals fan, I was excited when they picked him up as an undrafted free agent. I would tell anyone that would listen that if Marvin could get to him, the kid would be great. So far, he's been great. Guy is a beast.

Lead the Bengals in tackles last year and will most likely lead again this year. And it's not like they got a bunch of scrubs, he's on a legit D
