Former NFL wide receiver Justin Blackmon was arrested early Saturday morning and charged with public intoxication in Payne County, Oklahoma, according to multiple reports.
Blackmon, 35, the former No. 5 overall pick by the Jaguars in the 2012 NFL Draft, whose career was derailed by off-the-field incidents, appeared unrecognizable in a mug sH๏τ pH๏τo that stunned fans on social media.
The mug sH๏τ image was not included in the online records from the Payne County Sheriff’s Office in Payne County as of Monday.
It showed a male with scruffy facial hair and stated that he was arrested at 2:17 a.m. on Saturday, April 19.
The reported arrest comes after Oklahoma State announced last month that Blackmon will be inducted into the Cowboy Football Ring of Honor this coming season.
The ceremony is set to take place on Nov. 15 when Oklahoma State plays Kansas State at Boone Pickens Stadium.
In 2010, Blackmon set an NCAA sophomore record by totaling 1,782 receiving yards.
The 6-foot-1, 207-pound Blackmon also had 20 touchdowns that season, which was the seventh-most ever.
In 38 games at Oklahoma State, Blackmon caught 252 pᴀsses for 3,564 yards and 40 touchdowns.
He finished fifth in Heisman Trophy voting in 2010, the same year he was a unanimous All-American and named Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year.
After the Jaguars traded up with the Buccaneers to select Blackmon with the No. 5 pick in the 2012 draft, he went on to have a standout rookie season, tallying 64 catches for 865 receiving yards and five touchdowns.
Blackmon’s career was quickly ruined by multiple arrests for alcohol and drug-related incidents.
Blackmon was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame last year.
