Josh Gordon & Justin Blackmon Both Facing Life-Long Ban From NFL: Can Pair Overcome Drug Scandals?

Two of the NFL's hottest wide receiver prospects are facing life-long bans for their drug abuse, and evident addiction. Josh Gordon and Justin Blackmon are both talented receivers, with Gordon proving himself more than Blackmon. However, the pair may never play again, unless they sort out their attitude problems and their care-free lifestyles. They've both been punished on various occasions for DWI, drug use and drug possession. Can they turn their careers around, or will they face the humiliation of wasted potential and opportunity? How long can the Cleveland Browns and Jacksonville Jaguars support them?

One Jacksonville player insisted "No one in our building has given up on him," regarding Blackmon, but that might change if he was to burn yet another bridge with his team. The 24-year-old star was arrested for weed possesion recently, making it his 3rd arrest in the last few years, but teammate Marcedes Lewis insists, "He just needs help. I want to let him know he has our support. He doesn't have to be embarrassed. We're here for him." 

It's believed that many on the Jaguars roster have tried to contact their friend, yet he doesn't seem to be willing to talk to them at this time. Could he be throwing his career away in its early stages? Gordon already faces a one-year ban, which he has appealed, but it seems like he has as much hope as Blackmon at the moment.

Can anybody help this troubled duo?
