DeSean Jackson, Philadelphia Eagle (PIMP)

[Drunkmasterflex]

That pic reminds me of Rod Tidwell in "Jerry Maguire".  Even the guy holding up both fists looks like the "militant" brother character.

Ha! that is exactly what I thought when I saw it.  "I love Black People!"

hall is a great return man, one of the best ever, but hester has redefined the position in a remarkably short period of time.

of what i've seen from desean, though, he has hester-like potential to change the game every time he touches the ball.  i can't wait to see how it all plays out.

If this guy is such a game-breaking player, how the hell did he drop so far in the draft?

it questionable as to how good of a wr he can be...or if he can be one at all

[Zanshin]

Right now I'll settle for Jackson being a significant upgrade over Mahe, then worry about how he falls as an all-time great.  Then again, I might be a significant upgrade over Mahe.

[Cerevant]

Is he at least fast enough to be a deep threat?  I'm not saying he needs to draw double-teams, but this team has had zero ability to stretch the field in recent years.  It pains me to say that the Eagles miss Pinkston...

[ice grillin you]

absolutely...tho hes more of a slot guy that can come underneath and take a crossing pass the distance vs being an outside straight down the field receiver

the same can be said for every other receiver taken in this year's draft.  none of them have the return skills that jackson has, though.  not even close.

[Zanshin]

Sadly, he's also a slot guy who can come over the middle and get stamped into little DeSean nuggets.

[reese125]

Yeah thats kind of scary

I think Jackson is now the second lightest player in the NFL at 169lb aside from Lamont Brightful who is 160lb--and Brightful is a DB

Id rather be a DB at that weight than a WR all day every day

[Feva]

Well, I'll throw my weight behind him as his official  sponsor.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Todd Pinkston was maybe 180 soaking wet and 6'2".  It's not like DeSean's built flimsy just because he's on the light side.

Honestly, you don't want a 5'10" speed guy carrying much more than 180-185.

Only saw Jackson's punt returns posted but here's a compilation of some of his receptions. Might just be because he's playing against college kids but he plays a lot bigger than he looks...and damn he's fast.

The dude is small. I'm sure the team will have him in the weight room and he'll play at 175-180. Everyone knows the risks. Hopefully he won't die on the field.
