Video has been released of Justin Blackmon’s recently failed sobriety test, which led to his arrest for DUI.

The sad story of Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Justin Blackmon’s career got even sadder over the weekend, when he was arrested for a DUI in Oklahoma. Blackmon had already been previously arrested in 2008 and 2012, and had been out of the league while he tries to deal with his substance abuse issues.

With another arrest on Saturday, it seems very likely that Blackmon will probably never see the field again, as he has clearly not gotten his issues with alcohol and other substances under wraps. All of that makes this an incredibly sad situation for what was such a promising career.

Video has been released of by TMZSports of Blackmon’s failed sobriety test. In the video, Blackmon is seen getting out of the car, where he then proceeds to take the test of walking in a straight line.

Blackmon has trouble walking in a straight line and even slurs his speech quite considerably while talking to officers, after he claimed to have had just a couple of drinks.

Blackmon would be arrested at the scene after failing his field sobriety test. He failed the initial breath test and also refused to take a breathalyzer at the scene of the arrest.

That’s now three arrests for Blackmon, and if he’s ever going to play in the league again, which seems highly unlikely at this point, then it’s going to be quite some time as he has some serious issues that he is battling at the moment. Coming out of college, he was one of the most talented players in the country, which led him to being drafted fifth overall. Now, he would be even lucky to be able to get out on the field for any team again.
