Really happy for him, liked him coming out of college, good to see him doing good now

That's a crazy good deal for the Bengals.

Good to see him doing well and seemingly has kept his head on straight

That's a crazy good deal for the Bengals.

He's 2 years on good behavior.  Nothing is harder to handle than success.

The Bengals took a long shot signing Burfict as an UDFA, and it paid off for them big time.  He was the only player on their team to make the Pro Bowl last year.  I wish the Colts had used one of their two 7th round picks in 2012 to grab Burfict instead of Tim Fugger or Chandler Harnish.  Then again, Burfict is excelling in a 4-3 defense.  Who knows if he would have done as well in the Colts' 3-4.
