I think it's a combination of the name and the happy coincidence that he plays for Jacksonville. It would not be nearly as funny if the Jaguar QB was Alex Smith
Totally. But I'm willing to bet that any professional sports team (or even similarly sized group of people) has one with a silly sounding name. Probably not as perfect as Blake Bortles, though.

There's an Aussie Rules player called Steele Sidebottom.
That is an excellent name!
Oh, there are so many excellently silly names beyond Blake Bortles, though maybe none that make good exclamations. Key & Peele did those skits for a reason:

Keep in mind that all of the guys who aren't Key or Peele are real pro football players. Sadly, my personal favorite Barkevious Mingo is not included.
Bortles is a funny sound- also (i have no idea his race) it "sounds" like he could be white, so they don't sound like they are retreading the Orangello joke.
So, I'm shopping to pick up stuff at Target, including Halloween candy, and I see they have ghost peeps and I feel like I have to get them and maybe a some chili?
Ha! My therapist watches The Good Place, and I told her that today after therapy I was going to the grocery store for some milk, but maybe I should get chili and M&Ms.
Chili is good. M&Ms are good. But not together.
