At Oklahoma State, Blackmon was a standout wide receiver. In 2010 and 2011, Blackmon won the Biletnikoff Award, becoming the second receiver in college football history to win the award twice.
Blackmon was also a unanimous All-American during his two Biletnikoff seasons. He entered the 2012 NFL Draft, where the Jacksonville Jaguars selected him No. 5 overall.
After a solid rookie season, in 2012, Blackmon was suspended for the first four games of the season due to violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy. Blackmon returned from suspension and played four games before being suspended indefinitely for another violation.
In 2015, Blackmon was denied for reinstatement, and he hasn’t played a snap in the NFL since week 8 of the 2013 season.
