Now we have another special WR in Devonte Smith who's just as small lol but it doesn't matter. Djax acceleration, top speed and ball tracking ability was incredible.
If only he had a ring. Few players in Eagles' history deserve one more than DeSean. But we should be forever grateful for what he's done and accomplished. Enjoy retirement, you absolute legend.
He has a ring with the Rams, but unfortunately he was being how he could be sometimes…. Not a team player. This cost him a chance to “earn” it since he wanted and was granted a trade.
The dude had showmanship, and ran like a cheetah. Once he turned on the afterburners no one could catch him. Maybe the greatest home-run threat WR in NFL history.
Not maybe he is the leading Eagles reciever with the most 40+(it might be 20+ can't remember) yard receptions. His ability to track the deep ball is unmatched.
I broke a pair of Ray Bans jumping out of my seat when Vick hit DeSean on that 1st play bomb vs the Redskins and I broke an iPhone 3 jumping out of my seat when DeSean returned that punt in the Miracle part 2. It's been expensive being an Eagles fan over the years. 😂
The way he was able to track the ball, turn on & turn off his speed...matched by no one!!! To this day, still pissed he didn't play his whole career here! Thanks Shit Kelly, for killing that team!!!
Desean jackson getting some love yessir!!! My favorite receiver and eagles receiver. 5'10 170 lbs but faster than anything you've ever seen. First player in nfl history to start at 2 positions in the pro bowl and most tds of 70-60+ tds all time and his average td is 45 yards . That's crazy. I wish the eagles would have retired his number. But it's all good
He was such a breath of fresh air when we *badly* needed top-tier receivers following the T.O fiasco. The most electrifying player I've ever seen in an Eagles uniform. (Well, both he and Randall.) And oh, by the way, also extremely fundamentally-sound: Amazing hands, and I've never seen a receiver track a deep ball the way he did to reel in passes over either shoulder. We didn't get it done during his time here, but I will never forget the memories!!! Salute to you, DeSean!
Desean was also the player that helped the team so much. It forced the defense to spread their offense to account for him and indirectly helped the rest of the offense
Easily one of the most dynamic players who have ever wore an Eagles uniform. A big play waiting to happen with the ball in his hands and will go down as one of the best punt returners ever. I was lucky enough to meet him and he was real cool to me and my cousin. I know Giants fans are glad this guy is gone
Its flipping insane! Also Glad to see someone else giving Celek some love, he truly was an underrated tight end, blocking off the chain and deceptively good route runner and pair of hands!
This man was my childhood. I still have his jersey. Still wear his jersey faithfully on Sundays. One of my favorite players all time. The speed the heart the energy the excitement. He made football fun for me.
Philadelphia icon. He immediately captured the attention of the entire fanbase, from his first game to his last game. The fact that he took it personally when he was moved to Washington showed how much the city meant to him. He's someone I will tell my future children about.
DeSean Jackson was the most electric player we’ve ever seen. He had pure speed and no one can catch him. He was one of the fastest wideouts of his time. He is an icon and beloved in Philadelphia
DJax was the reason I became a fan of the Eagles in 2008 🥲 Best memories were the Washington game opening TD and the miracle at the meadowlands. Best feeling as a kid seeing DJax play. Wish he would’ve got a ring though but he’s an Eagles goat for life
This makes me so sad dude. I remember when they drafted him. I remember listening to the miracle in the meadowlands on sports radio and freaking out when we won. D Jac could FLY boi!! He’s an Eagle through and through and I’m sad to see him retire. What a legend 😢
DJAX!!! Thank you for the years and YEARS of smiles, and jumping up yelling, and high fiving, and hugging. This man was the greatest! Forever an Eagle.
My all time favorite eagle as a kid. Growing up in the Vick, McCoy, & Jackson era was so much fun! Thank you Deasean for all of the great memories! wish we could've gotten you that ring that you truly deserved
I wish the best for him, maybe he can give some feedback to the current WR group. Never too old to learn or hear the stories from him. I especially loved it when he was caught working inside the sports store acting like an employee. Every Eagles fan walking in should have knew it was him. Lol
Jackson, and Macklin were the best WR combo Philadelphia ever had. As a lifelong Philadelphia Eagles fan, I have to say, Andy Reid's era was the best. Jackson made one bad play in his entire career here, when he threw the ball behind his back just before he or the ball crossed the plane. I was cracking up, because I knew "every TD gets reviewed". They were bringing that back. The "Miracle At The Meadow Lands 2", I was at a house PACKED! With Eagle's fans. Everyone in that house thought we were going to lose that game. I said "chill we have the ability to score fast, we winning this game." That's one game I wish on-line betting was around, I wonder what the odds would have been for Eagles coming back and winning that game would've been? I would've bet WHATEVER I had, because that day, everyone in that house said "how'd you know"? My response? BIRDGANG BITCH!!!! What a player Deshawn Jackson was, so many exciting, Big time, huge plays. From one player. The Allen Iverson of Football.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Mr.Jackson🦅 Thank you for every performance week after week. It hurt to see you go when that time came, but you will always be remembered as one of the best Eagles ever.. Enjoy your day to the fullest💚
There was a post from an Eagles fan account congratulating DeSean Jackson on his retirement. A number of the comments from Eagles "fans" said "who?" This guy was freaking electric to watch. Sad some do not know him. Vick, McCoy, Maclin, Jackson...incredible times
I was hurt when Chip Kelly released him and it hurts me more when he signed with the Redskins and every time we played him he used to kill us I was sick to my stomach I would never forgive chip kelly for that
I would love for him to have gotten a ring as an Eagle. Desean was so electric and exciting. Def an Eagles legend. It's hard to see former players like him in other teams' uniforms. Hell Ertz may not be an eagles legend, but he was damn near our offense some years and I still despise seeing him play anywhere else. I was a huge Ertz fan.
3:51 If I recall, on the previous series DeSean sprained his ankle. He was getting it taped during the defensive series, and came back for this play. He outran the entire Cowboys secondary on a sprained ankle. He was unbelievable.
He was probably my first "favorite player" whose career I remember entirely. And whether I'm thinking of McNabb, Vick, Foles, Wentz, or Hurts, I can say I remember all of them throwing bombs to DeSean Jackson. Congrats on an electric career, DJax. Fuck Chip Kelly.
Homie caught fades from McNabb, Foles, Vick, Wentz, and even Jalen hurts 😂 AJ brown might be the best we have rn but Desean Jackson is still number one eagles WR all time.
Imagine hurts and desean… by far my favorite receiver, wish they would give Devon Allen a shot he got that desean tyreek speed it’ll only create more opportunities for the others 🦅
The fact that he caught TDs from McNabb allllllll the way to Hurts blows my mind. I will forever be grateful to this legend.
You beat me to it.
I never realized that holy shit
Never thought about that! Amazing ...
Was thinking the exact thing lol
I did not realize he caught one from Hurts also, crazy indeed!
the longevity this man had to play w mcnabb, vick, foles, wentz, and hurts is beyond me.
For someone his size…it’s amazing. He was no bigger than Iverson
For a guy who relied on speed too - lost half a step over that time at most but was still burning DBs in recent times
Don’t forget the LEGEND Kevin Kolb.
Now we have another special WR in Devonte Smith who's just as small lol but it doesn't matter. Djax acceleration, top speed and ball tracking ability was incredible.
He may have caught some passes from Sam Bradford as well lol
"Desean Jackson... GETS A BLOCK!!"
Man what a game and time to be alive.
I will never forget that game and the reaction from everyone around me man. That was different
Jason gave himself to the football gods that play he was goated in my book ever since
You didn’t even watch it 😂 stop giving yourself false memory
@@sideshowtrey9002 you're weird.
@@tvsavery666 I guess he doesn't know Jason literally gave himself a concussion on that block. Idk
If only he had a ring. Few players in Eagles' history deserve one more than DeSean. But we should be forever grateful for what he's done and accomplished. Enjoy retirement, you absolute legend.
He has a ring with the rams not us though!! Forever an Eagle Djax!!! 🦅🦅🦅🦅
And a obligatory F chip kelly
I feel like I’m 2017 we should’ve gave DJax Shady and Maclin rings for all they’ve done for us
He has a ring with the Rams, but unfortunately he was being how he could be sometimes…. Not a team player. This cost him a chance to “earn” it since he wanted and was granted a trade.
if we win it this year does that mean he would get a ring with us? or would he still need to be an active player
Desean Jackson caught TD passes from McNabb, Kolb, Vick, Foles, Wentz, and Hurts. That is INSANE!!
And Derek Carr
And Fitzpatrick in Tampa
The dude had showmanship, and ran like a cheetah. Once he turned on the afterburners no one could catch him. Maybe the greatest home-run threat WR in NFL history.
Not maybe he is the leading Eagles reciever with the most 40+(it might be 20+ can't remember) yard receptions. His ability to track the deep ball is unmatched.
@@Stephen_Vielehe also has the most NFL touchdowns of 60+ yards in NFL history.
Man's called himself a Lamborghini 😂
I can't name a player that ran better deep routes than him, his speed and ability to track the ball was insane
definitely the best to do it
I broke a pair of Ray Bans jumping out of my seat when Vick hit DeSean on that 1st play bomb vs the Redskins and I broke an iPhone 3 jumping out of my seat when DeSean returned that punt in the Miracle part 2. It's been expensive being an Eagles fan over the years. 😂

Vick had a damn cannon!!! Great career Desean!!!!
A touchdown from every qb era.
ICONIC.
damn i just realized he caught a TD from mcnabb, vick, wentz, and hurts (and probably foles too) truly an eagles legend enjoy retirement DJACC💪🏼
He caught plenty from Foles in that season where Chip Kelly was coach and Foles threw 27 touchdowns and two interceptions for the season.
Watching DJax take it to the house from every Eagles QB is AMAZING!! What a great career! Thank you for sharing!
Except Cunningham🤣
@@johnomalley7211 you mean Foles.
@@Phecaboothhe caught 7 from foles how old are you 💀
@@Chuida17 can you read? Read the original comment. And then @johnomalley7211 's. I see no Foles 2 Jackson TD in this highlight.
@@Phecabooth were you not around in 2013?
Desean jackson getting some love yessir!!! My favorite receiver and eagles receiver. 5'10 170 lbs but faster than anything you've ever seen.

Played 15 YEARS at that stature is remarkable in itself. One of the most exciting players in EAGLES History. Congrats on the Career D-Jax
10 and 7 are why I became an Eagles fan. All the way from Botswana
An Eagle great. Philly will always cherish Djax 🦅💯
3:02 I'll never forget. It was my first ever NFL game and what an amazing experience for a first game. GO BIRDS!
The greatest at tracking the ball I've ever seen.
Thank you DeSean for all those amazing moments!! FlyEaglesFly!!

Desean was also the player that helped the team so much. It forced the defense to spread their offense to account for him and indirectly helped the rest of the offense
Best deep threat the Eagles ever had! This guy really spreads the field.
Even as heartbroken Packers fan much respect lol
The Miracle at New Meadowlands is the reason I got into American football and why I became an Eagles fan
The walkoff punt return was tuff🔥🔥
Easily one of the most dynamic players who have ever wore an Eagles uniform. A big play waiting to happen with the ball in his hands and will go down as one of the best punt returners ever. I was lucky enough to meet him and he was real cool to me and my cousin. I know Giants fans are glad this guy is gone
As a longtime Cowboys fan, DeSean Jackson had me more nervous than any other Eagles player I ever watched.
The best receiver for the Philadelphia Eagles history man DeSean Jackson I'm going to miss you man
We will never have another DeSean. He’s the reason I’m an eagles fan to this day. Best deep threat ever.
I thought we did back in 2020 I thought Jalen Reagor was gone be the next DeSean Jackson but he turned to a bust
My favorite WR of all time! As a diehard Eagles fan, I'm gonna miss him a lot.
Good luck on your retirement DJAX! You were a fun player to watch! Thanks for everything that you did in Philly!
Thank u DeSean 🦅👑...Fly Eagles Fly 🦅
To this day I don't know how the Celek/Jackson/Maclin/McCoy core didn't win any playoff games.
Its flipping insane! Also Glad to see someone else giving Celek some love, he truly was an underrated tight end, blocking off the chain and deceptively good route runner and pair of hands!
They never had good defense lol. Vick also regressed at QB after that first big season he had for us.
@@davidstandeven5250and toughness. Celek was one of the toughest eagles of all time
Vick had 11 good games and fans swear he a legend. He sold out couldn't get us one playoff win. .
Thank you for a great time spent here.
He really caught touchdowns from every era of Eagles QB I've seen! I love him!
This man was my childhood. I still have his jersey. Still wear his jersey faithfully on Sundays. One of my favorite players all time. The speed the heart the energy the excitement. He made football fun for me.
Philadelphia icon. He immediately captured the attention of the entire fanbase, from his first game to his last game. The fact that he took it personally when he was moved to Washington showed how much the city meant to him. He's someone I will tell my future children about.
That game winner against the giants forever iconic bro 💯
Desean Jackson one of the best ❤Love you and God bless you always 🤲
Legit one of if not the most graceful runner I’ve ever seen. No one moved down a field with such fluidity like Desean.
DeSean Jackson was the most electric player we’ve ever seen. He had pure speed and no one can catch him. He was one of the fastest wideouts of his time. He is an icon and beloved in Philadelphia
He's Always Been SPECIAL ❤
Jackson was fast 🏈💨
As a cowboy fan this man scared mes but l got love for jackson as a player
Respect to you
3:07 never realized how fast that ref was. He was FLYING lol
Time flies wow
One of my favorite players to watch growing up. Tyreek Hill wishes he was this good.
Tyreek catching strays for absolutely no reason 💀
Desean jackson GET'S A BLOCK! ARE YOU KIDDING?! STILL NOT IN AND NOW IN FOR THE TOUCHDOWN NO FLAGS" i have that implanted into my mind
That's the legendary come back
Even though a butthurt Packers fan much respect to the blue collar Philadelphia eagles fans!
I hope Shady Vick JMac and Brent Celek are all there Sunday! Till this day the best offense in Birds history imo
Still remember his first non touchdown,just knew he was going to be making big plays frequently and he did.
This man has caught a touchdown from all of our QBs since I became a fan ( Not including Badford) 😂
Sam Glass-knees-ford
DJax was the reason I became a fan of the Eagles in 2008 🥲
Best memories were the Washington game opening TD and the miracle at the meadowlands. Best feeling as a kid seeing DJax play. Wish he would’ve got a ring though but he’s an Eagles goat for life
This makes me so sad dude. I remember when they drafted him. I remember listening to the miracle in the meadowlands on sports radio and freaking out when we won. D Jac could FLY boi!! He’s an Eagle through and through and I’m sad to see him retire. What a legend 😢
Mr Action. Ur time will come to join our hall of Fame. 🦅
DJAX!!! Thank you for the years and YEARS of smiles, and jumping up yelling, and high fiving, and hugging. This man was the greatest! Forever an Eagle.
I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU THANK YOU DESHAWN FOR ALL YOU DID FOR PHILLY WE LOVE U AND ALWAYS WILL CONGRATS
Thanks for all of the memories DeSean 💕 still my favorite jersey to wear
My cousin DeSean Jackson. He is a legendary in the league.
My all time favorite eagle as a kid. Growing up in the Vick, McCoy, & Jackson era was so much fun! Thank you Deasean for all of the great memories! wish we could've gotten you that ring that you truly deserved
Forever an Eagle as it should be.
I wish the best for him, maybe he can give some feedback to the current WR group.
Never too old to learn or hear the stories from him. I especially loved it when he was caught working inside the sports store acting like an employee.
Every Eagles fan walking in should have knew it was him. Lol
The man with the natural ability to put you on a cycle and outrun you, sometimes in that order. What a career Jackson! 🍻
My favorite player growing up 🦅
The play at 4:50 is my favorite - seeing Coughlin chewing out Dodge ;)
Deshawn Jackson is the reason why I don't leave the game for overtime until it's actually in overtime
Jackson, and Macklin were the best WR combo Philadelphia ever had. As a lifelong Philadelphia Eagles fan, I have to say, Andy Reid's era was the best.

Thank you for everything Deshaun Jackson enjoy your well deserved retirement 🦅🦅🦅.
I know this is about DJack but can we take a moment to appreciate Vick's arm? Thing of beauty..
Should definitely come back to the team ❤❤
Wild to see how many QBs got to throw deep balls to him. Even Jalen got to!
Forever an eagle DeSean! You earned your place in fame!
I feel like DeSean Jackson is the reason why Tom Coughlin permanently has that look on his face when the camera pans to him on the sideline lol.😅
Me too
Definitely a top 3 eagles WR for me when i was young wasnt really into football like i am now but Vick Shady and DJAX always made me excited.
The most electrifying Eagles receiver of all time.
This was some of the best highlights of a great Eagles 🦅 player. Thanks so much for giving us fans such great memories.
Forever Legend 💚💚

Bring back djax before playoffs lets actually get him a ring people who agree
👇
I would love for him to have gotten a ring as an Eagle. Desean was so electric and exciting. Def an Eagles legend.
It's hard to see former players like him in other teams' uniforms. Hell Ertz may not be an eagles legend, but he was damn near our offense some years and I still despise seeing him play anywhere else. I was a huge Ertz fan.
No
Legend
ONE OF THE BEST EVER
Absolutely phenomenal athlete and WR who was ahead of everyone in his prime. It was domination just about every time he got the ball.
Was always a highlight reel watching him on the field.
I think he might have been quicker than cheetah in his prime
the guy that made me fall in love w the game right next to shady
My favorite eagles wr
What a throw
Great clips. DeSean catching TDs from 4 different Eagle QBs. Glad he’s retiring an Eagle. Damn Chip Kelly!
Desean Jackson was always the fastest player on the field. Always.
Thank you for the memories champ

Forget The Rock, D.Jack might’ve been the most electrifying man in sports entertainment when he played in Philly
Xavier Worthy got those DJ vibes
D jack better
Seeing Desean Highlights makes me smile ☺️ I miss him 😢
Man he played from Mcnabb to Hurts as qb's? Wow
Absolutely love Desean Jackson! So energetic! And so much fun to watch!
Imagine hurts and desean… by far my favorite receiver, wish they would give Devon Allen a shot he got that desean tyreek speed it’ll only create more opportunities for the others 🦅
I forgot just how insane his acceleration was
