It didn’t take long for the true colours to show or fame to go to his head. Wide Receiver Justin Blackmon, picked fifth overall by the Jacksonville Jaguars in April’s draft, was arrested for aggravated DUI early Sunday morning.
For Blackmon, this is the second time he has been arrested on a DUI complaint. In October of 2010,
Blackmon, who caught 252 passes for 3,564 and yards 40 touchdowns for the Cowboys in three seasons and led the nation with 20 scores in 2010, was thought to be the “safest” pick among the elite receivers in his draft class. Notre Dame’s Michael Floyd, who some believed to be more purely talented, went 13th to the Arizona Cardinals; his draft stock was impacted by a history of alcohol-related arrests.
Jaguars spokesman Dan Edwards says the team is aware of the report and is gathering information.
