Buccaneers

Bucs TE Austin Seferian-Jenkins apologized for the incident that led to him being sent off the practice field last week and for sparring with fans online.

“It’s a learning process. I’m ready today and excited to get back to work and get this behind me … I won’t let it happen again,” Seferian-Jenkins said, via Greg Auam of the Tampa Bay Times. “…It was a lapse of judgment. Obviously it was not a good day. I was sent off the field. I was frustrated. I can’t take it out on the fans. That’s not fair to them at all. All they want is a winner, all they want is me to be successful, all they want me to be is great. They just want me to get ready and I respect that. For any of the fans I offended, I’m sorry. I can’t wait to get to work and be the best tight end I can be for you guys.”
