Vontaze Burfict is working this offseason to conform his style of play to the NFL's rules after serving a 12-game suspension for a helmet-to-helmet hit.

"Vontaze has spent the entire offseason studying and learning the proper code of conduct for participation in the NFL. He has watched tape, talked with coaches and NFL experts, doing everything he can to conform his passionate play to the rules of the NFL. This is a serious issue not only for Vontaze but all players, and he is serious about doing things the right way and being a leader in playing football the right way," agent Peter Schaffer told NFL Network.

Burfict is set to be an unrestricted free agent next month.
