Oakland Raiders linebacker Vontaze Burfict has been suspended four times by the NFL, ejected from two games and fined somewhere in the vicinity of $4 million dollars by the league for various infractions, many of them related to illegal hits.
He's developed a reputation for being a dirty player, and his most recent suspension was for the remainder of the 2019 season after he launched himself at Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle in Week 4, connecting on a helmet-to-helmet hit.
Despite his history—or perhaps because of it—Oakland Raiders defensive coordinator Paul Guenther described Burfict's season-long suspension as a "witch hunt" on Thursday, according to Jerry McDonald of the Oakland Tribune.
