Because this shirt does a shitty job of explaining it: Blackmon was an alcoholic. There were obvious signs of this in his college days, too- but the Jags were so desperate to get some sort of offensive threat that they rolled the dice on him.
@isaiah_gonzales Dude, when you forego an NFL career because you'd rather smoke dope, that's a mental issue. I didn't mean a literal physical addiction.
@@coachjonfitness I’m laughing at you for even mentioning that because I assure you it was his alcoholism that was his downfall. The weed did nothing lmao
I remember seeing a segment about him on ESPN, before the draft, helping a child. It was heart warming and it sucks to see his NFL career not pan out like it was supposed to
Cleveland Browns (Clowns) are the King of Poor No.1 Draft Picks remember Johnny Manziel, Brady Quinn, Trent Richardson and Phil Taylor and the list goes on 😂😂

Yeah but he was an insane player like HOF caliber if he continued a good trajectory but it is what it is
I hate to be that guy but *short*. I had to reread the sentence.
Aldon Smith is a similar case.
@@kenw2225I forgot all about Aldon until you mentioned him. Both him and Blackmon were absolute beasts for a short time.
If you are an alcoholic at 21, 22, 23 even 25. Ifeel like there was still plenty of time for him to be helped and not completely squander a career...
Blackmon was massively talented. He had the tools to have a fantastic career. But his alcohol and pot addictions ruined him.
“Pot addiction”💀

@@coachjonfitnessthe hoops people jump through to deny Marijuana addiction is insane
massive?
Him and Josh Gordon. Such wasted talent
At least Josh has a Super Bowl ring 💍. A lot of ppl forgot he won one with New England Patriots. Facts 💯
Josh had success in the NFL. Probably not as much as he could’ve had but still better career than a lot of WRs
I remember seeing a segment about him on ESPN, before the draft, helping a child. It was heart warming and it sucks to see his NFL career not pan out like it was supposed to
I remember this segment too.
That Jaguars receiving core had some of the best sounding names.
Justin Blackmon
Cecil Shorts
Ace Sanders
Marcedes Lewis
He had legit talent, he couldn’t overcome the battle with the bottle and it cost him his career. I hope he is doing well now.
Blackmon was a monster for the Pokes
Id always get him in madden drafts, he had great stats and you could get him a few rounds later
The Jags didn’t do their due diligence before drafting this dude. He came with a huge red flag but pretended that they didn’t see it.
Worst draft pick in NFL history to me is Ryan Leaf. Period !!!
An absolute shame about Justin Blackmon. He lit up the joint with great ability. Sometimes, stuff like that happens.
Ooof... the bust of bust receivers. 😮💨🤦🏿♂️
Cleveland Browns (Clowns) are the King of Poor No.1 Draft Picks remember Johnny Manziel, Brady Quinn, Trent Richardson and Phil Taylor and the list goes on 😂😂
I'm glad Mayfield is having a good career in Tampa. 230m for a busted sex offender. Well done Cleveland.
@chrisolson3240 😆😅😂 Yes and they still have 2yrs with his contract and he might not play in 2025 for maybe 12 weeks - BUST
Tim Couch.
This is simple. Ryan Leaf or JaMarcus Russell. Brian Bosworth is a honorable mention.
Very sad story too bad he didn't 😢 ghet the support he needed so sad
That opening clipped can be voiced over like nothing you can ever ser
Im surprised Jerry Jones didn't send the jags 3 1st rd picks, 4 2nd rd picks to have the rights of blackmon! 😂😂
I remember this kid wasted talent
I wouldnt call him a bust. He was so good. One of the best college receivers ive ever seen. Just couldn't keep it together off the field.
The NFL should not interfere with what goes on outside of the field
Then he realized he was Jacksonville
Imagine if Jax had prime Blackmon and kirk with Lawrence that would be discussting offensive team
Trevor Lawrence isn’t that good
Yesheis @@JustANopinion11
Millions of dollars worth of talent. No common sense.
I think if Jacksonville didn't draft him he would went to Carolina and we would never had Luke.
nothing wrong with the pick...just bad decisions on the player...nothing wrong with Jacksonville
Same with Matt Jones
Rent a body garden who'll snap fingures!
Blackmon was great research needs to be done y he didn't get Josh Gordon treatment and alcohol isn't illegal
Browns should have taken Blackmon to pair with Weeden
Bro cost himself millions for weed, just smoke during the off-season
It was more his alcoholism that did him in there were signs at OSU the problem is the jags didn't care they just saw his talent
Blackmon was so fucking good. Damn shame
btj is better
Yeah this dude reminds of a DK Metcalf type. He could have been great. Oh well.
Who..?
These are all just Jacksonville picks
Crazy
Kaiir elam
Bro you did Justin no justice. He has a substance abuse problem. Ignorant
Can't take the hood out of some...
What about Brett farve popping pills & sending penis pics? & he’s not from the hood just because he’s black huh? OH WOWWWW
