JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Wide receiver Justin Blackmon may never play in the NFL again, according to Jacksonville Jaguars general manager Dave Caldwell.
The front office decision-maker met with a group of media members, including our news partner the Jacksonville Times-Union, on Tuesday and discussed Blackmon's career prospects.
"I guess I harbor hope, but realistically, when you're away from the game for two-and-a-half years, what you were once is not what you will probably be -- your skills do erode, especially when you're not in shape and not in top football shape," Caldwell said
The general manager not only questioned the receiver's body but his mindset as well.
