Blackmon...

He's a question mark as a player at this point. When he's cleared to play (and we don't know for sure when that will be) will he have his priorities straightened out or will he just go back to what got him in trouble in the first place? Recovery from addictions isn't a short term proposition; typically, he will be spending the rest of his life struggling with those demons. We hope for a complete recovery. 

 

Justin is going to have to re-earn the trust and respect of the franchise and the football community... assuming he wants it. How? (1) By staying sober and not using any illegal substances as deemed by the law and the NFL, and (2) by becoming the game changing receiver he was originally brought here for. Both of these are magnum challenges! You would have to figure that after (more or less) two years off the field there is bound to be some 'rust'. But the greater challenge will be his staying completely away from marijuana and severely limiting any alcohol ingestion. That's just a reality of life if he wants to play in the NFL.

 

Is he up to it? We don't know.
