Blake Bortles Flashed “Wow” Plays, is Primed for a Leap in Year 2

The Jacksonville Jaguars pulled off one of the biggest surprises in recent draft history when they selected quarterback Blake Bortles with the 3rd overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft. While there was some talk of Bortles possibly going to the Houston Texans with the first overall selection, no one managed to connect the dots and figure out general manager David Caldwell‘s very real interest in the signal caller out of UCF. After starting slow in offseason workouts, Bortles stepped on to the field in the preseason and was without a doubt the most impressive rookie quarterback.
