The '4K-yard, 18-INT NFL seasons' quiz

Happy 34th birthday to former third-overall NFL Draft pick, Blake Bortles!

Bortles played three seasons of college ball at Central Florida, where he’s fifth all-time in passing yards and touchdowns in program history. The Jacksonville Jaguars selected him third-overall in the 2014 Draft, where he and the Jags had trouble matching his productivity with winning football. 

In his most productive season as a pro in 2015, he threw for 4,428 yards and 35 touchdowns and an NFL-high 18 interceptions for a team that went 5-11. He nearly reached the 4,000-yards once again in 2016, but the Jags went just 3-11 that year.

The Jags only had one winning season with Bortles under center in 2017-18, when they nearly beat Tom Brady and the Patriots in the AFC Championship game and became perhaps the most surprising Super Bowl participant ever before collapsing in the second half.  

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Bortles became one of just 29 quarterbacks in NFL history to rack up at least 4,000 passing yards and at least 18 interceptions in the same season. How many of those QB’s can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
