Former NFL and Oklahoma State wide receiver Justin Blackmon is going viral for all the wrong reasons after he was reportedly arrested this weekend.
A mug shot with arrest details for a man named Justin Carl Blackmon surfaced on social media on Easter Sunday.
The picture shows Blackmon was arrested for public intoxication.
It came as a complete shock to NFL fans since he looked nothing like the player that he used to be.
Another revelation about his arrest has also come out.
The police report obtained by TMZ Sports stated that Justin Blackmon couldn’t fit in the back of a cop car during his public intoxication arrest.
He was so big that a larger vehicle was required to transport him to jail.

Justin Blackmon Made His Name At Oklahoma State Before He Flamed Out In The NFL

Justin Blackmon was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame during a game between the Oklahoma State Cowboys and the Arizona State Sun Devils at Boone Pickens Stadium in Stillwater, Oklahoma, in 2024.
That is where he made his name.
In his college career, he played 38 games for Oklahoma State, where he caught 252 passes for 3,564 yards and 40 touchdowns. He was a two-time unanimous All-American and won the Biletnikoff Award in 2010 and 2011.
The 35-year-old former wide receiver was selected with the No. 5 pick in the 2012 NFL Draft by the Jacksonville Jaguars.
During his rookie season, the Oklahoma native caught 64 passes for 865 yards and five touchdowns and was named to the PFWA All-Rookie Team.
It would get no better than that.
In 2013, Blackmon played in just four games because he was suspended twice by the NFL.
He would never play another down.

Former NFL wide receiver Justin Blackmon has recently found himself in trouble again.
On April 19, 2025, police arrested him for public intoxication early in the morning in Oklahoma.
A mugshot from this incident has surfaced, revealing a very different version of the player many once admired. In the photo, Blackmon looks scruffy and heavier, quite a departure from the fit athlete he used to be.
At just 35 years old, Blackmon was once a shining star at Oklahoma State.
The Jacksonville Jaguars picked him fifth overall in the 2012 NFL Draft. He had an impressive rookie season, racking up 64 catches for 865 yards and five touchdowns.
However, his promising career quickly took a downward turn due to a series of personal issues. He faced multiple legal troubles, including arrests for DUI and violations of the NFL’s substance abuse policy.

All of this led to significant suspensions and ultimately derailed his professional dreams.
Soon after his mugshot went viral, the fans on social media lashed out in utter disbelief. Almost all of them are pointing at how unrecognizable he looks in the viral photo. Once he was considered as the beast on the field, and now he looks in need of some serious help.

It’s heartbreaking to see someone with such immense talent and potential struggling like this. Just last year, Justin Blackmon was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame, and he’s also set to join Oklahoma State’s Ring of Honor this November.
However, fans couldn’t control their disbelief over Blackmon’s viral mugshot.
“Justin Blackmon looks completely different,” a fan wrote.
“Wow. Mental Health is real,” a fan commented.
“Dude was a BEAST !!!” another comment read.
“WTF. This is sad,” a third one wrote.
“Hope he gets help,” a fourth fan commented.
“That’s so sad. So much thrown away potential. I pray he gets help,” another comment read.
His fans are hoping for the best for Blackmon, wishing that he can find the help he needs to get back on track. We can only hope to see him rise again, both personally and professionally.
