It does not happen often, but we have a significant retirement in the middle of an NFL Season, as Wide Receiver, DeSean Jackson, has called it a career.
Jackson will retire as a Philadelphia Eagle, and serve as their honorary captain this Sunday, played eight of his 15 NFL seasons in Philadelphia, the same team that he went to his three Pro Bowls.
Known as one of Football’s great game-breakers, Jackson holds the record for Touchdowns of 60 Yards or more (26) and is tied for the record of TDs of 80 Yards or more (5). He also played for the Washington Redskins, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Los Angeles Rams, Las Vegas Raiders and Baltimore Ravens, and exits with 11,293 Yards and 58 Touchdowns. He is also a four-time league-leader in Yards per Receptions
Jackson will be eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2028, and was ranked #58 in our pre-2023 Monitor of those to consider for Canton. He is not likely to get in, but will likely be ranked on our Notinhaloffame.com Football list of the 300 best players not in enshrined. Jackson, should however, make every preliminary ballot while he is eligible, and could be a potential Semi-Finalist.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to wish the best to DeSean Jackson in his post-playing career.
