Once thought of as first round pick, Arizona State LB Vontaze Burfict went undrafted in the 2012 NFL Draft. But he's going to be in the NFL after all after agreeing to an undrafted free agent deal with the Cincinnati Bengals, according to a report. SB Nation's Bengals blog, Cincy Jungle, sums it up:
