The Facts: At the start of training camp, coach Lovie Smith said Seferian-Jenkins was "behind a lot" -- thanks in large part to having to wait until after the University of Washington's late graduation to jump into offseason work. However, it's clear the 6-foot-6, 252-pound target is catching up rapidly. On Wednesday, NFL Media's Daniel Jeremiah reported that the team is "pumped" about the tight end's play.

Diehards Line: According to Jeremiah, ASJ has made a lot of plays in practice and "picked things up quickly. ..." As NFL.com's Kevin Patra notes, part of the Bucs' NBA-sized receiving corps, Seferian-Jenkins provides Josh McCown with a big target over the middle (similar to what the signal-caller had with Martellus Bennett in Chicago). Patra also expects the rookie tight end to be a productive target in the red zone, where he can utilize his size and leaping ability.
