DeSean Jackson was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles as a Second Round Pick in 2008. As a Wide Receiver, he showcased a unique specialty in the National Football League by using his track-star-like speed to outrun almost anyone and stretch the field. Jackson was an All-Rookie Selection in his first year, with 912 Yards, and he broke 1,000 Yards five times. He was a three-time Pro Bowl Selection with the Eagles, demonstrating his ability to elude runners with his Yards After Catch stats. If a deep ball was thrown while Jackson was on the field, it was practically a given that he was the target!
Although Jackson was mainly used for the long ball, he never finished in the top ten in Receptions, despite being a WR1 for most of his career. His style permitted him to lead the NFL in yards per reception four times (in 2010, 2014, 2016 & 2018), and his overall number of 11,263 Receiving Yards with 58 Touchdowns is very solid. In addition, Jackson provided 463 Rushing Yards with 4 TDs and another 1,352 Return Yards with another 4 TDs. Along with Philadelphia, Jackson also played for Washington, Tampa Bay, Las Vegas, and Baltimore.
However, it is unlikely that Jackson will be inducted into the Hall of Fame, as the accumulative stats for Wide Receivers are gradually increasing, and he is likely to fall short. Nonetheless, he has one of the best highlight reels in football!
