I don't know if he 'disappeared'.  Wasn't it pretty shortly after he retired that he go busted on the north side with an enormous amount of coke?

I never heard about the coke. The last story I recollect of him in Jacksonville was when he put his truck into the ditch somewhere after he had been absent from the team. He wasn't under the influence.

But still, it adds to the mystery of why a guy of his talent with the potential to earn some life changing money didn't just serve out the suspension and then return to playing. Instead, he just gave up.

Edit: We're talking about different people. I was alluding to James Justin Blackmon.

Ah.  No, Blackmon was weed and alcohol.  He valued that more than playing football.  I'm assuming he probably burned through, literally and figuratively, whatever money he retained from his rookie contract pretty quickly.
