May 16, 2023 · Dirtiest Players in NFL History. By Tony Adame, updated on May 16, 2023. AP Photo. Vontaze Burfict played eight seasons as a linebacker in the NFL and cemented his reputation as a dirty player. His career came to a close in 2019 due to the cheap shots and late hits he put on opponents. But Burfict isn't the first player known for dirty play in ...

We’re starting with this one because it was so brutal-looking and clearly an illegal hit, but also not necessarily intentional. This play in 2009 was not unusual for Burfict because part of his problem is any low hit or helmet-to-helmet contact looks more brutal when you’re as powerful as him. Still, it was a helmet-to-helmet blow, and Stanford ful...
After going undrafted because of his anger management problems and injury worries, Burfict made it through his rookie year without getting into any on-field trouble. But on Sept. 22, 2013, he got his first fine. As you can see in the above video, Burfict smacked Green Bay Packers tight end Ryan Taylor below the belt, leading to Taylor pushing Burfi...
A fight broke out at Bengals camp earlier this month when Burfict tackled low on running back Giovani Bernard, who is recovering from knee surgery. Burfict has a long history with practice fights among teammates for tackling too hard when it doesn’t count, and to some football people, that might not be such a bad sign. But potentially injuring an i...
Burfict was unstoppable in high school, but so was future USC quarterback Matt Barkley. So what happened when they met on the field? Look at how Burfict dives low at Barkley after the throw is released. That’s the type of play that would have been scrutinized heavily if it happened in the NFL.

Burfict couldn’t prevent Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton from getting into the end zone in an Oct. 12, 2014, game, so he seemingly tried to break his ankle once they both were on the ground. That Newton was coming off ankle surgery made it hard to believe this was a mistake. Amazingly, he also tried the same thing w...
Burfict’s hit on New England Patriots tight end Martellus Bennett mostly led to discussion of his jawing with Rob Gronkowski. But that was underplaying how egregious the hit itself was. Well before Tom Brady released his throw, Burfict was diving toward the side of Bennett’s knee and bracing himself for impact. The hit could have had absolutely no ...
The Bengals were playing the Steelers in the first round of the AFC playoffs. They had the fortune of playing at home, and there was reason for Bengals fans to feel good about this team’s chances. Alas, Burfict. The story goes like this: Burfict sacked Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger — who had accused him of diving low on a tackle in a prev...
