Texans Pro Bowl outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney famously once called Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles "trash," a comment made in frustration following a blowout loss.
Bortles can be maddeningly inconsistent. If he is indeed "trash," it's fast-moving garbage.
At 6-5, 236 pounds, Bortles is an excellent scrambler. He has rushed for 188 yards and one touchdown this season and has 1,598 career yards and eight touchdown runs.
He's also fumbled 40 times, losing 16 of them.
The Texans have to account for Bortles' mobility on Sunday.
