23-year-old quarterback Blake Bortles of the Jacksonville Jaguars is a rising star in the NFL. The 2015 Jaguars’ season was the franchise's 21st in the National Football League and the third under head coach Gus Bradley. The Jaguars improved on their 3–13 record from 2014, finishing 5–11 record and getting their most wins since 2011. Bortles was a big reason behind the team’s solid improvement as he erupted for 4,428 yards passing and 35 touchdowns behind a lackluster offensive line. The future is certainly bright for the 6'5" 230-lb. mobile gunner out of Central Florida.
Courtesy of Bortles and his agency, Rep 1 Sports, this lot features a black pair of his game-used and dual-signed Nike 'Alpha' cleats worn during the final six weeks of his 2015 sophomore campaign. They can be style-matched to the following six games: vs. San Diego (11/29); at Tennessee (12/6); vs. Indianapolis (12/13); vs. Atlanta (12/20); at New Orleans (12/27); and at Houston (1/3/16). The exact game or games this pair was worn is not confirmed, but it is likely Blake wore them for multiple or all of the aforementioned games. The size 13 black cleats, with white Nike Swoosh logos on both sides of each, display considerable game use on the outer toe areas, with grass staining and severe wearing on the individual cleats. More importantly, they stink of perspiration and foot odor. Bortles has added his autograph in 8/10 silver marker on the exterior of each shoe, below the "NIKESKIN" stamp on each inner ankle. The original laces are present.
