In 2012, the Jacksonville Jaguars selected Blackmon as the fifth pick in the first round of the NFL draft. This was a pivotal moment in his career as he became the highest-drafted player from Oklahoma State since the legendary Barry Sanders in 1989.
Unfortunately, Blackmon’s potential was overshadowed by off-field issues, primarily violations of the NFL’s substance abuse policy.
In 2013, he faced suspensions, which truncated his NFL career.
