Per rotoworld:

Quote:Blake Bortles: I was 'kind of fat' as rookie

Blake Bortles | JAC

(April 21, 2015 1:16 PM EDT)

Blake Bortles says he was "kind of fat" as a rookie.


Bortles was apparently tipping the scales at 250 by the end of the season after weighing 232 at last year's Combine. He's now down to 238, and says he's reduced his body fat from 17 to 10 percent. Conditioning is one of many things Bortles must improve on as a sophomore.

Well he certainly carried the weight well. Being well conditioned should only help him in his sophomore campaign.

He was joking around, but seems like he put in a lot of work this offseason. I'm excited.

I think what he would consider "kind of fat" is not what most people would consider overweight.  Good that he had time to get into better shape though and work on those mechanics.  He has the drive to succeed. 

Huh

Bortles at 238 with that ability to keep the ball will be fun to watch. Move the pocket Olsen

I saw somewhere (I think NFL network) where they broke down his game and said specifically conditioning had to improve. He was getting tired in the 4th quarter of games and thats usually when his mechanics broke down. He would revert to his old habits and it affected his ball placement.

In that article, it explains that he is working with QB Guru Tom House (former major league pitcher) and Jordan Palmer.

More importantly  - Gus says Joeckel gained 13-14 pounds and Linder is at 320.  Says the line came in looking like they worked hard.
