Former UCF quarterback Blake Bortles received an invitation to attend the NFL Draft in New York City in May, according to the Orlando Sentinal.

The 6-feet-5, 232-pound Bortles parachuted onto the top of draft boards during his redshirt junior season as he led UCF to a 12-1 record and Fiesta Bowl win over heavily-favored Baylor. Bortles threw for 3,581 yards and 25 touchdowns with nine interceptions in 2013.

Bortles could be the first name called in the 2014 NFL Draft.
