Justin Blackmon statement: "I've made a mistake and I have no excuse. I am truly sorry and disappointed in myself for putting the Jaguars in this situation, and I look forward to putting this behind me and maturing and growing as a person. I will have a productive training camp and pre-season with my team, and during the suspension I will work hard to stay in top football shape and be ready to help the Jaguars when I return. I have chosen to be accountable for my poor decision, and I sincerely apologize to my teammates, coaches, the front office and Jaguars fans for the impact of my mistake on the team."

^^ That's a mature, responsible statement following a stupid decision and thinking he wouldn't get caught. We'll see if he actually backs it up.

I'm sure his agent wrote that statement.

I hope he realizes how blessed he is and focuses on being a professional.

Look what Jerry Rice did with dedication and focus Not that Blackmon is Jerry Rice but the example is there for the taking.
