It has been reported that Blackmon is unlikely to face jail time. The wide receiver has yet to sign a rookie contract after being taken with the fifth overall pick of the 2012 NFL Draft. The Jags may leverage the arrest into less guaranteed money than Blackmon would have earned otherwise. Blackmon was arrested for another DUI in 2010 as a sophomore at Oklahoma State.
