JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- By the end of last year, Blake Bortles' arm was tired - worn down by months of NFL draft preparation, countless practices and then the grind of his rookie season.
He noticed something else about his body, too.
''I was kind of fat,'' Bortles said Tuesday as the team began its offseason conditioning program.
The Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback has taken steps to fix both issues.
Bortles spent more than two months in California working on his mechanics - mostly footwork - with quarterback guru Tom House and NFL journeyman Jordan Palmer.
