Would you want to be playing in Jacksonville?
The rumors are true that he wanted to play for the Bengals.

He blew a .24 wow! What a dumb-ass

I found this in the "NFL Constitution and Bylaws".
Section 8.6
This section was utilized by the commish on Terrelle Pryor. It appears that he can penalize any player for transgressions committed while playing for the NCAA.
In suspending Pryor, league relied on general provisions regarding “detrimental conduct” | ProFootballTalk
In addition I don't think he can play...but I should temper this by saying that I have only seen a minute or two of highlights of him. Based on this tiny sample size, he looked dreadfully slow and awkward going in and out of cuts. Like a moose dodging a car. Maybe he was able to get away with this in college because of his size, but it is not going to work in the NFL.
I know that am working with a tiny sample of his highlights but I do remember watching Percy Harvin workout tapes and being shocked at how insanely fast he was in and out of cuts....Blackmon was the opposite.
I would caution making any kind of judgment on a minuteo r two of highlights. And Blackmon and Harvin are completely different types of WRs. Harvin relies totally on his speed and cutting ability.
Maybe it's time for a "Who Should the Jaguars Picked Have Instead of Justin Blackmon?" thread.

Nice find. I think that the Pryor case was an excetional one, and the league would likely be challenged if they routinely attempted to punish as detrimental conduct which occurred prior to a player being drafted.
Acting like an NFL Vet already!
The Jags have been down this road before, especially with WRs:
Blackmon's arrest triggers bad memories for Jaguars - NFL.com
Makes you wonder about the wisdom of trading up for a prospect with a prior DUI on his record when they could have traded back and gotten a quality WR without that issue.
If Blackmon is convicted, he would face felony charges if he was arrested again for DUI.
