In an intense playoff contest last season, Cincinnati Bengals Vontaze Burfict took a very unnecessary cheap shot at Antonio Brown’s dome.
The result?
Brown suffered an concussion, which resulted in him missing the divisional game against the Denver Broncos.
After taking such a vicious hit, one would think the all-pro receiver may be a bit gun shy.
“I think my swag got a little bit better.”
How so?
“You’ve gotta be more aggressive. You play this game long enough, you’re gonna get hit. That just comes as part of playing football and being in the game. And obviously that hit actually won us the game, so that’s called taking one for the team.”
It’ll be interesting to see how this new found swagger translates on the field.
