Bucs’ Seferian-Jenkins has bad day on field, makes it worse on Twitter
OTA practices may be voluntary, but Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Dirk Koetter expects you to be prepared for them.
Just ask Austin Seferian-Jenkins.
On Thursday, Koetter sent the third-year tight end off the field for not being ready to take part. Here’s video, posted by WFLA reporter Paul Ryan:
After the session, Koetter told reporters Seferian-Jenkins “didn’t know what he was doing,” but didn’t want them to make a big deal of it.
“I did send him off,” Koetter said. “That’s between me and him…You guys are making more of it than you need to.”
As if that weren’t bad enough, Seferian-Jenkins, a second-round pick in 2014 who has missed significant chunks of his first two seasons due to injury, went after fans on Twitter who were giving him some grief for being booted.
(We had to use screengrabs of the tweets because some of the messages Seferian-Jenkins responded to were not suitable for a family blog.)
His reaction, via the tweets, to may get him in more trouble than he was in on Thursday. Good job, good effort, Austin.
