Blake Bortles and the ‘Dead Arm’ Situation

Blake Bortles has hit the news again recently for the recounting of the “dead arm” he had at the end of the 2014 NFL season.

His issues with arm deterioration after his final collegiate season, the NFL Draft process, and the 2014 NFL offseason and season were well noted after the Jaguars sputtered to 3-13 in Bortles’ first year starting. Now that we’re in a bit of a dead time for the NFL, this issue is being dredged up again. It’s a good thing to keep in mind, too, as the Jaguars’ young signal caller will be facing a full season in which the team relies on him.
