I’ve always wondered if the Burfict hit in 2016 increased his outbursts.
It just seems after that he took a turn, what I can’t figure out is if the Steelers were just really good at keeping that in-house until that event…
Here’s an article with the timeline after that event, cant seem to find clear issues prior to 2016 except for these below:
2012 - ran backward on a TD run the final 20 yards picked up a fine.
2014 - tried to hurdle punter unsuccessfully and kicked him in face - fined.
2016 - hung on goal post after TD against the colts - fined.
That’s all I can locate on the field for drama, is this a growing likelihood of a CTE issue or other mental health issues clearly coming through in possible addition to a CTE issue?
