The chemistry between Jameis Winston and Austin Seferian-Jenkins is building, which could end up being a great thing for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and their offense in 2015. According to Justin Pawlowski of Bucs Blitz, Winston said that Seferian-Jenkins is one of his closest friends on the team.

“Austin is probably one of my closest friends here," Winston said of his new tight end. "We hang out a lot. Nick (O’Leary) was good at Florida State and that’s hard to beat, but Austin is bigger, longer so it’s a blessing.”

Pawlowski also points out the success that tight ends like Tony Gonzalez and Marcedes Lewis have had under offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter. Could the second-year tight end in Seferian-Jenkins be poised for a major breakout? It's definitely seeming that way, especially if he and Winston can put together a strong connection on the field.
