Blake Bortles

“I want to compete, that's kind of who I am, that's what I want do.”

“I won't embarrass myself off the field. My last name is important.”

“I think when you try something you like, you stick to it.”

“My goal is to play football in Jacksonville for as long as they let me and in order to do that, we have to win games.”

“When you become a professional athlete, everybody thinks you have to do some kind of charity work and I wanted to, but I didn't want to rush into it. I wanted to find the things I was passionate about and take the time to do it right and actually make a difference and have a positive impact.”

“We talk about all this roughing the quarterback stuff and it's like, 'Dude, trust me - I'm on the side of the defense.' Like, don't get me wrong: If you hit me and they give me a free 15-yarder, I'm not complaining. But I totally understand how hard it is for those guys to do what the league is asking them to do. It's impossible.”

“However we're moving the ball and creating yards and touchdowns and points, I'm in for that.”

“I think you've got to treat adversity and prosperity the same way.”

“It looks so cool to like sit down and drink Scotch with your dad - that looks awesome.”

“You know that they're going to cheer for you when you're winning, and want you to sign autographs and take pictures. And when you're losing, they're going to boo you. That's the world we live in and that's what fans do.”

“If you're not getting the job done or playing well or being successful, they'll eventually replace you and find somebody else that can.”

“I think about it each and every day as an opportunity to go get better, to go improve.”

“We can make a huge impact on many people's lives.”

“I don't think I've ever had a liquor drink that tasted good.”

“There's a mental clock in my head, too, that's going, 'They're not going to let you win three games a year forever. They're not going to let you win five games a year forever. You've got to win, and you've got to win now. It's time to go.'”

“I'm not very complicated or an over-thinker.”

“I've hung out with some SWAT guys in California and they talked about how much they like working out but how few supplies they have.”

“Don't worry about what other people say.”

“I've always kind of played fearless and not scared to make the mistake. I think that's allowed me to make some plays, but in saying that, I've got to also be smart and obviously take calculated risks and make sure whatever I'm doing is putting us in position to score.”

“There's no doubt I need coaching, I need help. I think everybody in the game does.”
