Austin Seferian-Jenkins believes he can earn bigger role for Jets in 2017
New York Jets tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins thinks he can "absolutely" be a strong starter in 2017.
Cut by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers two weeks into the season after a tumultuous training camp and limited to just seven appearances with the Jets because of injuries among other things, Seferian-Jenkins has nowhere to go but up. "It has been a challenging year," Seferian-Jenkins stated the obvious. "I'm excited for the opportunity next year. I want to come back and be a force to be reckoned with." The Jets have gotten just 25 catches from their tight ends the past two years.
On 20 targets in 2016, Seferian-Jenkins earned 0.71 Reception Net Expected Points per target.
