STILLWATER, Okla. Willis McGahee Jersey . -- Jacksonville Jaguars first-round draft pick receiver Justin Blackmon was arrested on an aggravated DUI charge Sunday after authorities in Oklahoma said he had three times the legal limit of alcohol in his system. The former Oklahoma State star smelled of alcohol when an officer pulled him over shortly after 3 a.m., Stillwater police spokesman Capt. Randy Dickerson said. Blackmon agreed to take a breathalyzer test and blew a .24 -- three times the legal limit of .08, Dickerson said. Under Oklahoma law, a driver can be charged with aggravated driving under the influence when a test shows .15 or greater. The Jaguars drafted Blackmon with the fifth pick in this years NFL draft in the hopes that he could upgrade the leagues worst offence. "We are aware of the report and are gathering information," Jaguars spokesman Dan Edwards said. "We dont have any comment at this time." Blackmon was released from jail Sunday afternoon on $1,000 bond. Hes due in court on Monday. Payne County Sheriff Sgt. Brandon Ingham says jail records didnt list an attorney. His agent, Todd France, didnt immediately respond to an email or phone message seeking comment. A Stillwater police officer tried to pull Blackmon over for speeding -- 60 mph in a 35 mph zone -- and driving left of centre early Sunday morning, Dickerson said. Blackmon drove about four blocks before stopping in a gas station parking lot, Dickerson said. "He was unsteady on his feet, his speech was slurred, and his eyes were glassy and blood shot," Dickerson said in a statement. "He admitted to consuming alcohol prior to driving." There wasnt anyone else inside the Chevrolet Tahoe, Dickerson said. Blackmon was previously arrested on a misdemeanour DUI charge in Texas in 2010 after officers caught him speeding on a suburban Dallas highway. He told reporters after the arrest that he made a mistake and took full responsibility for it. "Im embarrassed to be in this position," Blackmon said. "Im truly sorry to my family, to my friends and to Oklahoma State all together. I look forward to redeeming myself and proving to everybody that this isnt who I am. Im not this guy. Im humbled by this experience and I will grow from it." Blackman didnt face any jail time from that charge, which a prosecutor had described as a fine-only offence. The Jaguars traded up to select Blackmon in April. The 6-foot-1, 207-pounder caught 122 passes for 1,522 yards and 18 touchdowns last season. He had 111 receptions for 1,782 yards and 20 touchdowns the year before. "Hes got an edge to him," new coach Mike Mularkey said earlier this year. "Hes one of these guys who doesnt think he can be covered. Thats pretty important at that position with that kind of confidence, that you can line up and dare somebody to try to stop you and believe that you cant be. I like that edge."

When the NFL first announced as many as 27 current or ex-Saints participated in a cash-for-hits bounty program, seemingly all Saints regulars on defence faced suspensions. As it turned out, only two current Saints -- linebacker Jonathan Vilma and defensive end Will Smith -- will be sanctioned. And while Vilma, a defensive captain, is slated to miss the entire season, Smiths four-game suspension still allows him to participate in training camp, as well as the final 12 regular-season games -- and whatever playoff run the scandal-plagued but highly motivated Saints might make. "We wish we had Will just like we wish we had Jonathan, but other guys will step up," Saints veteran right tackle Zach Strief said in a phone interview. "All we can do is move on and allow the process to run its course ... and I have all the confidence in the world in the guys in the locker room." Smith said in a statement Wednesday, hours after his suspension was announced, that he planned to appeal. Vilma at first said only that he would fight what he perceived as an injustice perpetrated by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, and then said on his Twitter page Thursday he "definitely" would appeal. If Vilma is unable to win a reduction or delay in his suspension, the Saints will still have proven players ready to step in. New Orleans signed three linebackers in free agency, including two -- Curtis Lofton and David Hawthorne -- who have extensive experience at Vilmas middle linebacker spot. The 6-foot, 241-pound Lofton was a second-round draft choice by the Falcons in 2008 and has started 63 of his 64 games, including all 16 last season. The 6-foot, 236-pound Hawthorne, entering his fifth year in the NFL, has started 41 games in his last three seasons at Seattle. With new defensive co-ordinator Steve Spagnuolo bringing in his own system, Vilma would not have had much advantage over Lofton or Hawthorne in terms of experience in the system. Also, Vilma, who turned 30 last month, is coming off his worst season with the Saints. He missed five games in 2011 because of nagging knee problems. He finished with 54 total tackles, one quarterback hit and only one tackle for a loss with no sacks. Those numbers were way down from the Saints Super Bowl run two seasons earlier, when Vilma led the team with 110 total tackles, had two sacks among 10 tackles for losses, had 10 QB hits and three interceptions. Sebastian Janikowski Jersey. If Vilmas appeal or potential legal manoeuvrs succeed, he may have a chance to prove he can come back and play the way he did before 2011. Otherwise, he might have to wait until the 2013 season. At defensive end, the Saints have three players other than Smith with NFL experience: 2011 first-round pick Cam Jordan, veteran Turk McBride and third-year pro Junior Gallette. Last season, Smith was second on the club with 6 1/2 sacks, but Gallette had 4 1/2 sacks in a reserve role, showing the potential to be more productive with more playing time. Jordan started all but one game in his rookie season and will be expected to produce even more in 2012. The Saints lost only the defensive tackles they let walk in free agency, and will have four-year starter Sedrick Ellis joining free-agent pickup Brodrick Bunkley in the middle, with veteran Tom Johnson rotating in and perhaps contributions from third-round draft choice Akiem Hicks. The Saints still have their secondary intact with the exception of cornerback Tracy Porter, who left in free agency. However, former first-round draft choice Patrick Robinson, who led New Orleans with four interceptions last season, was expected to slide into the starting spot opposite veteran Jabari Greer. Both of the Saints hard-hitting safeties, Roman Harper and Malcolm Jenkins, were spared bounty-related suspensions. That had to come as a relief to Harper, who was flagged and fined repeatedly last season for hits that came late or around the head of players he tackled. Harper is keeping quiet for now, while the teams training headquarters is closed to media. He has not returned a phone message left after the NFL announced player punishments. The Saints as an organization also have not commented since the player suspensions were announced. Theres been no word from general manager Mickey Loomis or assistant head coach Joe Vitt -- whos handling most head coaching duties during Sean Paytons season-long suspension -- concerning how the club will respond to Vilma and Smith suspensions. Of the players who have spoken up, most have done so on social media websites. Receiver Lance Moore, back along with much of New Orleans record-setting offence, was among those who, in the wake of the suspension, predicted continued success for a Saints club seeking a fourth-straight playoff appearance. "We will be fine!!!" Moore tweeted. "Who Dat all day!" ' ' ' |
