PrintDirectly following Oklahoma State's 41-38 win over Stanford in the Fiesta Bowl Monday night, Cowboys wide receiver Justin Blackmon said he's entering the 2012 NFL Draft.
"I think I'm gonna go ahead and enter the draft and see what happens after that," Blackmon said on the field following the game.
In the Fiesta Bowl, Blackmon had a game-stealing night, catching eight passes for 186 yards and three touchdowns earning MVP honors for the game. After a difficult first half in which he appeared frustrated on the sidelines, Blackmon came alive in the second half and showed why he is one of the best wide receivers in college football. He beat multiple coverage throughout the game and got open using quick fakes.
As a pro prospect, Blackmon faces questions about his size, speed and whether or not the Oklahoma State helps inflates his statistics. He'll get a chance to answer those at the NFL Scouting Combine.

To the surprise of no one
What a game he had, too. Wonder if it’ll get some FOs starry-eyed and reach. Gotta expect the combine to determine that, as you said.
Formerly knows as Vasilii, follow me on twitter @dolgorukii
and whether or not the Oklahoma State helps inflates his statistics.
So now Okie St. is tOSU as well? How do we separate the 2? What’s with all these schools putting “the” in front of their name?
Go Suns, Packers, Jays, and Huskers!
