DeSean Jackson…Amazing
DeSean Jackson… what a draft pick. At the beginning of last year we did not know what to expect. Then he came out and had one of the most impressive rookie seasons that the NFL has seen in a long time. He was more dynamic and explosive than anybody thought he would be right at the start of the season. Coming into this year he had some things to work on however. He needed to become a more mature player and continue to develop his skills. We are now three weeks into the season and he has shown a lot… and I mean… A LOT.
In three games he has 259 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He is averaging over twenty yards per catch. His route running is a lot better. Oh and he isn’t dropping the ball before he gets into the endzone. He was already a threat last year. However this year, he has proved in just three games that he can be a true number one. He is not letting his size get in the way of his game play. Defenses now have to game plan for him. They have to take into account where he is on the field at all times. In a way, it resembles how defenses would need to focus on Brian Westbrook.
The possibilities with Jackson are endless. He is a triple threat…as a receiver, as a punt returner, and for his use in the wildcat formation. He already has one punt return for a touchdown and is averaging the most yards per return in the league. The best part about DeSean is that it is only his second year in the league. He will continue to only get better as he gets more experience under his belt. I don’t like to talk up a player and say how good they will be in the future, but I truly believe DeSean Jackson will be a consistent play maker in the league for many years to come.
