DeSean Jackson

DeSean Jackson lived the dream in college, playing for his hometown Cal Bears after growing up in Long Beach, California. During his college days, he put his impressive repertoire of skills on display, running precise routes and putting defensive backs to shame with his speed and dynamism. After earning First-Team All-American honors in both 2006 and 2007 the Philadelphia Eagles selected him in the 2nd round of the 2008 NFL Draft and it was a move they wouldn’t regret.

From 2008 to 2013 Jackson was one of the premier wideouts and kick returners in the league. With that same dynamism on display on Sundays, Jackson became the first player selected to the Pro Bowl at two different positions in the same year.During his days in Philadelphia, he earned three Pro Bowl appearances and was named an All-Pro in 2009.In 2014 he signed a three-year contract with the Washington Redskins. Jackson had two more 1,000-yard receiving campaigns in three years with the Redskins before signing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. After two seasons in Tampa, Jackson was traded back to the Eagles. He spent two years back in Philly before a homecoming of sorts with the Los Angeles Rams. Jackson finished that 2021 season with the Las Vegas Raiders and spent 2022 with the Baltimore Ravens before retiring.
