The Jacksonville Jaguars have drafted three quarterbacks in the first-round of the NFL Draft since 2010: Blaine Gabbert, Blake Bortles, and Trevor Lawrence.
The No. 3 pick of the 2014 NFL Draft has ridden off into the sunset without giving anybody any advance warning. Per Jeremy Layton of the New York Post, quarterback Blake Bortles confirmed on the latest edition of the "Pardon My Take" podcast that his playing career has come to an end. "I have not touched a football since January.
Bortles fell down the depth chart after New Orleans acquired Dalton and noted the 29-year-old wants "a better opportunity to be a No. 2 quarterback elsewhere."
Some franchises' best efforts have not led to victory parades or even Super Bowl berths. Because of untimely injuries, unfortunate circumstances, or myriad other reasons, many teams' plans throughout NFL history have not produced the desired result.
