Jacksonville Jaguars veteran wide receiver Laurent Robinson got a chance to speak with rookie Justin Blackmon and he took the time to deliver a simple message after his recent DUI arrest.

“Just tell him you gotta grow up,” Robinson said. “You know, NFL players are targets, you gotta stay low-key, low profile and you know just, everybody makes mistakes and you know he’s gotta learn from it and just keep doing better.”

Robinson says that Blackmon’s been playing with more of a chip on shoulder lately.

“Playing with a little chip on his shoulder,” Robinson said. “Little mad about the whole situation. He’s going to be a pro. We’re going to help him out along the way and he’ll be fine.”

Daily Haze: Maurice Jones-Drew’s Holdout and Fantasy Owners

Holdout. A compound word no fantasy owner wants to hear associated with his/her first round draft pick. But that’s just what Maurice Jones-Drew’s owners are going to hear a lot of this summer. MJD wants to ink a new deal after leading the league in rushing yards in 2011. He pretty much is the entire Jacksonville offense. And while I’m being honest, he’s pretty much the only...
