Brandon Marshall is planning to mentor troubled tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins and help turn him into the major addition the Jets are hoping he can be.
Seferian-Jenkins was cut by the Bucs over the weekend after he was arrested on a DUI charge. The Jets claimed the talented 23-year-old Monday. Marshall believes he can tap into the lessons of his own past — a DUI and a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder — and help the 2014 second-round pick reach his potential.
“I’ve been talking to Austin for a week now, even before this even happened,” Marshall said Tuesday.
