Sean McVay designed a play specifically for Blake Bortles last week against the Steelers, getting him on the field for a key third-down read-option. It didn’t work, but perhaps McVay put him in the wrong position.
Maybe he belongs at wide receiver.
During Sunday night’s game against the Bears, Bortles made a nice sideline catch on a throw-away by Jared Goff. He made it look easy, too.

Twitter saw Bortles’ grab and absolutely loved it, calling for McVay to put No. 5 on the field.

All this talk about Lamar Jackson moving to WR it’s time to start the debate with Bortles. Being misused imho @PFTCommenter

Does Bortles have better hands than Kyle Fuller? Embrace debate. @BarstoolBigCat
