Former Jets TE Austin Seferian-Jenkins arrested for DUI again

Austin Seferian-Jenkins hasn’t played for the Jets since 2017 but was arrested for his third DUI since 2013.

Former Jets tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins was arrested for his third DUI since 2013 this week.

According to TMZ, Seferian-Jenkins was charged with one count of driving under the influence, one count of driving with a suspended license and one count of operating a vehicle without an ignition interlock device in Gig Harbor, Washington, on March 9 – the same town he played high school football in.

This isn’t Seferian-Jenkins’ first issue with drunk driving. He had previously been cited for driving under the influence in 2013 when he played for the University of Washington and in 2016 when he played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He was cut by the Buccaneers the day after his DUI arrest in 2016 and claimed off waivers by the Jets three days later.

Seferian-Jenkins had a ton of promise with the Buccaneers as a second-round pick in 2014 but he ended up having a breakout season for the Jets in 2017. He caught a career-high 50 passes for 357 yards and also hauled in three touchdowns and signed a two-year, $10 million contract with the Jaguars the next summer. ASJ only played five games for the Jaguars in 2018 before landing on injured reserve, and Jackonsvile voided his contract d before the 2019 season. The Patriots signed Seferian-Jenkins that offseason but cut him before the 2019 season due to “personal issues,” according to NFL Network.

Larry David blames Jets for killing his friend in new episode of ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’

The Jets found themselves in the plot of an episode of HBO’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm.”

Even in the offseason, the New York Jets still find ways to make headlines.

The Jets found themselves in the thick of the plot in Sunday’s episode of HBO’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” In the episode, Larry David’s friend, Carl, kills himself because of the aggravation that comes with being a Jets fan. David is a lifelong Jets ran in real life.

Carl’s demise was brought about by news that Le’Veon Bell was out with a season-ending injury. This did not actually happen, thought the episode referenced plenty of nonfictional Jets disasters.

“I can’t take any more disappointment,” Carl wrote in his suicide note.

David goes on to tell a couple of his friends about Carl killing himself over the Jets, but he did attribute some of the blame to another New York franchise as well.

“The Jets killed Carl — and a little bit of the Knicks,” David said.

David then brings up Sam Darnold’s mononucleosis in a conversation later on with a friend.

“Last year started with such promise. Then Darnold gets mono, season’s over by Game 3,” David said.

Toward the end of the episode, David is sitting with Carl’s widow, Veronica, and explains why he thinks Carl killed himself.”The [expletive] Jets,” Veronica responded.

“He loved them so much,” she continued. “The Jets ruined our marriage. I couldn’t stand to be around him.”

The two then fought over the Austin Seferian-Jenkins fumble that cost the Jets an opportunity to beat the Patriots in 2017.

David is an avid Jets fan, but, like Carl, has been frustrated with the organization for years. So, he made them the subject of his show and got a few hilarious jabs in. Maybe that’s just David’s way of coping with all the pain Gang Green has brought him.
