Ben Roethlisberger compares Blake Bortles to ... himself

Ahead of their matchup in Week 5, Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said he sees a lot of himself in Jaguars rookie quarterback Blake Bortles, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

"A young me," Roethlisberger said, although, "I don’t move quite as well as I used to.

"I liked him coming out (of college). I thought he was the most ready and a guy that I thought could be the best, just because I think the things he does: He can extend plays, he can stay in, he can throw the ball, he can throw on the run. He is an impressive-type young player. He makes some rookie mistakes but he also makes some plays that you don’t expect rookies to make in a good way."
