Austin Seferian-Jenkins is 243 days into new lifestyle -- and ready to play

Austin Seferian-Jenkins was arrested for DUI and got fired by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. If that wasn't bad enough, it became a full-blown embarrassment when the police dash-cam video emerged, showing an apparently drunk Seferian-Jenkins making crude comments in the back seat of the police car.

Saturday is the one-year anniversary of rock bottom. The next day, Seferian-Jenkins 2.0 is expected to make his season debut for the New York Jets, who play the Miami Dolphins in their home opener.

After serving a two-game suspension for violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy, Seferian-Jenkins is ready to begin anew, thankful he still has the opportunity.
