The Eagles’ DeSean Jackson has rode his big-play prowess to superstardom in the pros. Jackson is the most explosive player in the NFL and can change a game in a flash. To this day it remains puzzling as to how there were 48 players picked ahead of Jackson in the 2008 NFL Draft. Jackson compiled 11 TDs this season, 8 of which went for 50+ yards.The dynamic Cal product has been a godsend for an Eagle team that was looking for a deep threat and also, in turn, got a #1 receiver. Jackson’s swagger reminds Philly fans of a former wide-out from Tennessee-Chattanooga. Jackson doesn’t just get it done offensively; he is also a special teams weapon for the midnight green.
For the Eagles to succeed in these playoffs, Jackson will need to get the ball. Despite Dallas’ Michael Jenkins’ tight coverage, Jackson needs to produce some plays. Jackson has 5 catches for 76 yards in 2 games against Dallas this season; this must change on Saturday evening.
DeSean Jackson has faced criticism for size, but Philly’s little stick of dynamite hasn’t been stopped. Expect Jackson to be a leader of the future for a team that is filled with good, young stars.
