Blackmon finishes with 79 yards & touchdown
Justin Blackmon - WR - Jacksonville Jaguars
Dec. 30, 2012 - 4:20 PM ET

Justin Blackmon caught six balls for 79 yards and a touchdown in the Jaguars' Week 17 loss to the Titans.

The fifth overall pick in April's draft, Blackmon wraps up an inconsistent rookie year with 64 catches for 865 yards and five scores, averaging 13.5 yards per reception. It's worth noting that Blackmon got 27.3 percent of his yardage for the season in a Week 11 game against Houston in which he came away with a 7-236-1 line. Blackmon's athleticism and vertical speed were disappointing in his first year, but improved quarterback play and shorter pass patterns could give his production an uptick in 2013. He is impressive after the catch and generally has sure hands. Blackmon's 2012 performance did not live up to his draft status, however, and it wasn't even close.
