Jets TE Austin Seferian-Jenkins ready for 'once-in-a-lifetime opportunity'

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- In addressing reporters for the first time since joining the New York Jets, Austin Seferian-Jenkins didn't want to talk about his DUI arrest last week or the embarrassing police video that surfaced in the aftermath.

"It's a legal matter," he said Thursday. "I can't explain that at this time."

By that, he meant his bizarre behavior on the video. Seferian-Jenkins wanted to focus on the future, saying he's thankful for a "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity" with the Jets. In fact, he used the words "thankful" and "opportunity" no fewer than 17 and 12 times, respectively, during an interview in front of his locker.
