JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — If Blake Bortles feels any pressure over what happened, he doesn't show it. The second-year quarterback and 2014 No. 3 overall pick is pretty relaxed as he tries to rebound from a difficult rookie season in which he threw 17 interceptions.
Bortles regressed as the season wore on, a combination of injuries (shoulder and toe), questionable coaching (the Jaguars changed offensive coordinators in the offseason) and typical learning pains.
Then again, just getting on the field was something of an accomplishment for Bortles. The plan going into last season was for him to sit almost the entire year to work on throwing mechanics.
