whatever happened to that justin blackmon kid in jax
Gordon is in much better shape than Blackmon. Gordon is actually keeping his nose clean and wants back into the NFL. From everything I've read, Blackmon is still an alcoholic and isn't really working towards getting back.

The circumstances around Gordon's 1 year suspension are kind of silly. Due to his past marijuana use (he claims he hasn't smoked since 2012), he was banned from all substances including alcohol for the entire 2014 season. After the season ended, he had 4 drinks on a private flight with a few teammates on the way to Las Vegas. Gordon thought he was in the clear to drink alcohol since the Browns season was over, but the alcohol ban was somehow still in effect. He was promptly tested and failed, with the NFL suspending him for an entire year.
If the Browns make him available, I think he's worth a look depending on the price.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
