Blake Bortles slander seems to be in vogue lately. This time Titans defensive lineman Jurrell Casey went on local radio in Nashville and took some shots at their division rival, predicting he would choke in the playoffs.
“As long as Bortles is back there, if the ball game is in his hands, he’s going to choke,” Casey said on 104.5 The Zone in Nashville.
It seems Jaguars fans have had enough of the Blake Bortles smears and responded with a very personal insult towards Jurrell Casey on Twitter.

Ouch! Jurrell Casey’s brother Jurray Casey is serving a 25 year sentence for first-degree murder for an incident that occurred when he was 17. He was charged with murder after passengers in a car he was driving shot and killed Rashad Ali in Southern California. A few weeks before the shooting, Jurray Casey had received a scholarship to play football at Oregon. This occurred over 10 years ago and actually helped Jurrell Casey choose a different path in life.
It’s a tragic story that doesn’t deserve to be reduced to a reactionary Twitter insult, but this is the world we live in. Jurrell Casey will now need to focus on his own upcoming wildcard playoff game versus the Chiefs.
