(S30) PT 2 - Alternate History

[y2bobman]

Looking back, L'Gazzy Burfict could have spent longer in college which in turn could have raised his draft stock when entering the DSFL. But in truth, I don't think that would have made much difference... If anything he improved far more as a player in London than he would have done back in Rutgers. And if he'd waited another year he would have missed out on Ultimini glory too. Looking at the ISFL, Burficts agent was pretty open in discussions with the scouts, and it was Arizona who held their nerve to take him in the draft. Maybe a more a vocal and active agent would have led to a higher draft pick, who knows. Who cares. Arizona is home.

If football wasn't a possibility then I'd have expected Burfict to chase down a career in athletics... Following in the footsteps of his father. Perhaps a 100m or 200m specialist... Not sure he could manage much further than that. As an athlete he has that mentality to be the best and that could have driven him towards representing the USA in the Olympics. L'Gazzy would look good with some gold around his neck.

And outside of sports... Well he's pretty good at grilling chicken and flipping burgers on the BBQ. There weren't too many opportunities back in his home town so who knows where he would end up to try and find some work. I guess thinking about that makes him realise how lucky he has been to have the opportunities in football.
