Quote:One of the things they liked most about him is that he knows his weaknesses and has a desire to be better.

 

Most people have a very difficult time identifying their own flaws, much less correct them.

 

Agreed.  It is rare, especially at that position, where you'll find a player at this level who is willing to really work on improving areas of weakness. 

 

We've seen it in the past where guys like Leftwich was unwilling to tinker with the throwing mechanics because it was simply part of who he was, and he didn't see the need to change it.  He did work on his footwork, but not that windup.

 

Bortles has shown he's very coachable.  Couple that with a wealth of talent, physical ability, and a high football IQ, and we've got a guy with an undetermined ceiling.
