Austin Seferian-Jenkins Impressed by Offensive Talent Around Him

Bucs’ Austin Seferian-Jenkins Impressed by Offensive Talent Around Him By Sports Talk Florida News Desk July 24    2014This is Austin Seferian-Jenkins’ first training camp with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and it’s easy to see that he’s excited. He said that he’s healthy and he’s feeling confident in what he brings to the table. (On how excited he is to finally work with the offense) “I’m really excited. I haven’t been here that much this offense, but I’m finally here and that’s what counts. It’s time to get to work with everybody else.” (On if he likes the talent around him on offense)“Yeah, there’s a lot of good guys. You’ve got Vincent Jackson, you’ve got Mike Evans, you’ve got Tim Wright, you’ve got myself and a lot of other tight ends in the tight ends room that can do a lot of good things, along with some other receivers. We’ve got a lot of good guys and I’m excited to get to work.” (On if he’s been working on anything in particular)“I’ve been trying to work on everything. I haven’t been at this level before but I’m assuming everyone’s really, really good. So I’ve been trying to improve my game in any way possible. It’s going to be a process and every single day I’ve got to find something that I can get better at.” (On if he feels like this is his first day)“Not really. I got here on Friday. I was coming from Seattle. So that was the first day for me.” (On looking forward to putting on pads and hitting)“I’m just looking forward to getting out here, really, running around. We’ve got a conditioning test coming up, so I’m looking forward to that first and we’ll go from there.” (On if he’s confident about the conditioning test)“Yeah, yeah I am confident.” (On what the test is)“I don’t know, I’ve been trying to figure it out for the last couple weeks. I’m sure it’s a lot of running.” (On if he worked with Josh McCown during the break)“I got to throw with Josh a few days and we worked on routes. Obviously there wasn’t a ‘D’ that we could go against – it was ‘on air’ – but we got a little bit of our chemistry down, a little timing down.” (On his health)“I’m good. I’m 100 percent.” (On if he’s behind in the playbook)“I didn’t get the same amount as those guys physically, but mentally I might have gotten a different amount of reps because I’ve been watching it a lot. It all depends. When we get out there we’ll see how far behind I am or how right up to speed I am.” (On how imaginative he thinks the offense will be under Jeff Tedford)“If you watched him at Cal he did a lot of different things. I think that’s a good question you should ask Coach Tedford.” (On the Bucs’ tight end depth with him, Brandon Myers and Tim Wright)“Absolutely, and don’t forget about Luke Stocker. I’ve watched these guys, so it’s cool to be in that room and learn from them. It’s a competition, as everyone knows. Every single training camp is a competition. They’re good guys. We’re all trying to get better. They want the best for the team and that’s to have the best player play. Whoever that may be, after training camp we’ll figure that out. But it’s a group and we’re teammates. We’re working together so we can be better and win more games.”Read more at http://www.sportstalkflorida.com/bucs-austin-seferian-jenkins-impressed-offensive-talent-around/#2q0HjWevzhE7IwYz.99
