Blake Bortles not concerned with starting role yet

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles admits that he is not worried about being the club's starter at this stage of the off-season.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles has admitted that he is not concerned about becoming the club's starter for next season yet.

The Jaguars selected Bortles out of the UCF Knights with the third overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, and he will compete with veteran Chad Henne over the summer for the starter's role for next season.

Bortles told reporters: "My job is to come out here every day and work my tail off and compete as hard as I possibly can and that's all I'm worried about.

"I enjoy sitting in the quarterback room and learning as much as possible."

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