Blake Bortles: "It was an unbelievable feeling"

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles reveals that he is delighted to have been picked by the club with the third selection in the 2014 Draft.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles has admitted that it is an "unbelievable feeling" to be selected by the club in the 2014 Draft.

Bortles was the first signal caller taken in the Draft as the Jaguars drafted him third overall, and he has revealed that after his visits to the club, there was no place that he would have rather been.

He told reporters: "Every time I met with Coach Bradley and everybody here I left thinking, 'That was awesome.' I felt that this was the best place and this was the place I wanted to be when I left and was on a visit here.

"I was ecstatic about it. When my phone rang and when it was Dave, it was an unbelievable feeling. You can't put it into words. I'm happy to be here and happy to start competing and to get after it."

Bortles threw for 3,581 yards along with 25 touchdowns to nine interceptions in the 2013 season for the UCF Knights.
