Bortles has now seen it all in just five years in the NFL. He’s gone from a first-round draft pick, to leading his team to the AFC Championship game, to being released.
What a ride it has been.
The next chapter for Bortles will likely introduce him to the world of being a backup quarterback in the NFL. It’s not a bad gig for those willing to wait for the starter to get hurt.
