Austin Seferian-Jenkins

Austin Seferian-Jenkins was a second round pick for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but hasn’t lived up to the hype thus far.

At 6’5″ 262 lb., ASJ should be a red-zone nightmare for opposing defenses, but he has just seven touchdowns in four seasons.

Seferian-Jenkins is suspended for the first two games of the 2017 season for violating the NFL’s substance-abuse policy. Alcohol troubles have derailed a once-promising career.

ASJ has reportedly quit drinking and has enrolled in a rehab program. After serving his two-game suspension, Seferian-Jenkins will likely take over as the Jets starting tight end.

If he has moved on from drinking and taking football seriously, Austin Seferian-Jenkins could be productive for New York and finally be the red-zone threat everyone’s been waiting for.
