First things first, it’s important to note that Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles is not Cam Newton or Michael Vick. In fact, he may not even be Steve Young.
Yet when Bortles gets moving, there’s something special going on. It can be seen when he has a designed roll out of the pocket and it can be seen when he makes a surprising rush for an extended gain or, rarely, a reception like that 20-yard touchdown courtesy of Marqise Lee.
What is often overlook, because Bortles is not widely viewed as a runner, is that he makes a surprisingly reliable dual-threat at the quarterback position.
