Welcome to the Official
Website of Justin Blalock
 Welcome
to the site! I am extremely
pleased to have you follow my
football career and to visit my
website. I have been blessed
beyond belief to be a part of
the National Football League. I
am excited about playing for the
Atlanta Falcons. We believe that
the year ahead will be another
strong year, one in which we
will continue to build on past
achievements.
Born in 1983. Drafted in 2007.
Left Austin and headed to
Atlanta. Known as a ‘road
grader’, likes to ‘pancake’ the
opponent.
BLALOCK AT A GLANCE
Two sport athlete in high
school--football, and track.
Still holds the Plano city and
the District record of 63.75
feet for the shot-put! But
football became my passion. I
think I love the game for its
physical nature and demand on
competition.
Started three years at left
guard on the offensive line in
high school. Made the All-USA
Today team my senior year! After
receiving numerous interest
letters, I narrowed my choices
to the universities of Florida,
Michigan, Oklahoma, and Texas.
And the Texas Longhorns won my
heart!
Started 51 consecutive games at
Texas, breaking a 10-year
record. Recognized with
nominations for various awards
including the Lombardi Award
(nation’s top lineman) and the
Outland Trophy (nation’s top
interior lineman).
Made the key block, that freed
QB Vince Young to run in a
touchdown to win the National
Championship on January 5, 2006
at the Rose Bowl. That’s when
the University of Texas
Longhorns defeated the USC
Trojans 41-38.
Excelled in the classroom. Was
one of five finalists for the
Watkins Award for the nation’s
top African-American scholar
athlete. Graduated from the
University of Texas at Austin in
December 2006 with a degree in
Youth and Community Studies in
the School of Education. It was
a proud moment for my family and
for me.
Drafted by the Falcons in the
second round (number 39 overall)
in the 2007 draft.
Part of an offensive line that
opened holes for running back
Michael Turner to rush 1,371
yards during the 2010 season.
