DeSean Jackson, Philadelphia Eagle (PIMP)

Fire David Culley and hire Jerry Rice.  NOW.

what was steve smith's weight coming into the league and what is it now?

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.

Check out how fast he blows by the defenders at 3:00. 

[Rome]

he was listed at 180 but he must have been wearing a scuba tank during that weigh in because he was no more than 165-170.  that's he fell into the third round and that's why desean fell into the second.

the stop and go at 3:43 is just sick

[Rome]

i was just about to post that.  faked the db right out of his shoes.

[methdeez]

Man that kid is fast.
I know it is highlights, but he looks incredible.

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.

How about a 5'6" speed guy who weighs 180 in Darren Sproles?

[ice grillin you]

hes a couple lbs lighter than kevin curtis but a freak athletically...the kind of player the eagles never get...

agreed, I really thought the eagles drafting him was nothing more than a pipe dream.  I could not have been happier when I saw the clip of him on the phone before the pick was announced.

perhaps reid has turned the corner here with the additions of booker and desean they have a degree of athleticism on offense that they maybe have never had in his era...bubble screens and reverses...booker in the backfield with westbook and desean split out is pretty exciting stuff

You think he really weighs 180?

Doubtful.

I'm having trouble telling how everyone feels about this pick.

Actually, the fact that everyone is excited about it makes me think that he will be the biggest waste of space ever. Because, you know, we're all farging idiots.

he finally has some players to go along with his mad scientist play calling.  the only thing that bothers me about getting jackson is we might end up seeing more passing calls from that fat clown now.  at least there will be a decent decoy out there now, though.

How come nobody told me the Eagles made their trade for a proven #1 receiver? I want to be excited too, damnit.
