Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Justin Blackmon was drafted with the 5th pick overall in the 1st round of the 2012 draft but has had several issues off the field that have kept him from being on the field. Blackmon reportedly has now been denied reinstatement by the NFL according to Mark Long of the Associated Press.
Confirmed via @APMarkLong that Justin Blackmon DID apply for reinstatement and was denied.

As @APMarkLongput it, "the feeling in the building is that JB failed another test" but could be a missed test that counts as a failed test

It should be noted that Blackmon may have either failed a drug test or skipped out and didn’t take it, both of these are viewed as a failed drug test. Blackmon has a 93 receptions for 1280 yards and 6 touchdowns in his short career. Blackmon has loads of talent which I really hate seeing go to waste.
