Jets' Brandon Marshall plans to mentor Austin Seferian-Jenkins
New York Jets wide receiver Brandon Marshall is planning to mentor newly-acquired tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins.
"I've been talking to Austin for a week now, even before this even happened," Marshall said. "When I saw what he was going through I reached out to him. We've been talking for a while. He is a great talent. When I heard we claimed him I was like 'This is God sent.' If he needs me, I am there. I've already connected him with the right people in the city if he needs them. Guys need second chances. When you make a mistake, it doesn’t mean you are a bad person. You need people to believe in you, and sometimes a fresh start is a good start." Marshall had numerous off-field incidents in his career, but he's cleaned up his act considerably and has become a voice for mental-health awareness. ASJ is still just 24 (on Thursday).
Seferian-Jenkins has earned 4.95 Reception Net Expected Points on three targets this year.
