Blake Bortles: 'I want to be best quarterback prospect'

Former UCF quarterback Blake Bortles admits that he would like to be considered as the best quarterback out of all the prospects ahead of the 2014 NFL Draft.

Blake Bortles has admitted that he wants to be considered as the best quarterback out of all the prospects in the 2014 NFL Draft.

The former UCF Knights man has been mooted as a top-10 pick due to his performances in his college career alongside Johnny Manziel and Teddy Bridgewater, but all three are vying to be selected first overall by the Houston Texans.

Bortles told reporters: "I don't think that's up for me to decide. But I'm going to come here and do everything I can to make sure that when I leave there's other people saying that besides me.

"That's the goal, the goal is to be the top quarterback prospect. That's why I left college early, that's why I came out, was to be the top quarterback prospect, and I believe I can do that."

The 22-year-old threw 56 touchdowns and 19 interceptions in his three years at Central Florida.
