In a pivotal year for Blake Bortles, the fourth-year quarterback has decided to take the time between the three-day mini-camp that closed on June 15 and training camp in late July to return to California to work with his personal throwing coaches. The former third overall pick of the 2014 draft believes he needs coaches Tom House and Adam Dedeaux to become and remain a succesful passer. He last worked with them extensively in 2015. Bortles threw 35 touchdowns that year.
2016 was a different beast. On the advice of then offensive coordinator Greg Olson, Bortles spent only five days California leading up to last season.
