Jacksonville Jaguars offensive coordinator Greg Olson is working with draft prospects at this week's Senior Bowl content knowing his team isn't in the market for a starting quarterback among the aspiring NFL players.
Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles had a breakout second season in the league, throwing for 4.428 yards and 35 touchdowns in 2015. His 35 touchdown passes were second most in the NFL, trailing only New England's Tom Brady.
Olson said Bortles' performance helps offer the Jaguars clarity as they formulate their offensive plans for next season.

As part of that acceleration, Olson said he wants Bortles to refine his offseason preparation.
While Bortles led the NFL with 18 interceptions, Olson said he hopes a second season in the same offense will help the third overall pick in the 2014 draft cut down on his turnovers.
