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.
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.
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 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.
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
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
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!
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
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.
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.
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 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 😢
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.
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.
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
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💚
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
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
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.
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!
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... 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
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
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. 😂
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
A touchdown from every qb era.
ICONIC.
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!!!
Vick had a damn cannon!!! Great career Desean!!!!
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?
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.
An Eagle great. Philly will always cherish Djax 🦅💯
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
Desean jackson getting some love yessir!!! My favorite receiver and eagles receiver. 5'10 170 lbs but faster than anything you've ever seen.

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
Thank you DeSean for all those amazing moments!! FlyEaglesFly!!
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 best receiver for the Philadelphia Eagles history man DeSean Jackson I'm going to miss you man
10 and 7 are why I became an Eagles fan. All the way from Botswana
As a longtime Cowboys fan, DeSean Jackson had me more nervous than any other Eagles player I ever watched.
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.

Thank u DeSean 🦅👑...Fly Eagles Fly 🦅

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.
The Miracle at New Meadowlands is the reason I got into American football and why I became an Eagles fan
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
The walkoff punt return was tuff🔥🔥
Desean Jackson one of the best ❤Love you and God bless you always 🤲
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!
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.
Still remember his first non touchdown,just knew he was going to be making big plays frequently and he did.
Thank you for a great time spent here.
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
One of my favorite players to watch growing up. Tyreek Hill wishes he was this good.
Tyreek catching strays for absolutely no reason 💀
Legit one of if not the most graceful runner I’ve ever seen. No one moved down a field with such fluidity like Desean.
Happy retirement to desean jackson! Well deserved! I am grateful that i still have his jersey! I am planning on getting it framed!
yeah . I got that Number 10 too. One of my fav eagles of all times
Thank you for everything Deshaun Jackson enjoy your well deserved retirement 🦅🦅🦅.
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. .
My favorite player growing up 🦅
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 😢
This man has caught a touchdown from all of our QBs since I became a fan ( Not including Badford) 😂
Sam Glass-knees-ford
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
Mr Action. Ur time will come to join our hall of Fame. 🦅
Thanks for all of the memories DeSean 💕 still my favorite jersey to wear
As a cowboy fan this man scared mes but l got love for jackson as a player
Respect to you
I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU THANK YOU DESHAWN FOR ALL YOU DID FOR PHILLY WE LOVE U AND ALWAYS WILL CONGRATS
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
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.

The man with the natural ability to put you on a cycle and outrun you, sometimes in that order. What a career Jackson! 🍻
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 hope Shady Vick JMac and Brent Celek are all there Sunday! Till this day the best offense in Birds history imo
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
He's Always Been SPECIAL ❤
Forever an Eagle as it should be.
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
Should definitely come back to the team ❤❤
My cousin DeSean Jackson. He is a legendary in the league.
That game winner against the giants forever iconic bro 💯
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💚
This was some of the best highlights of a great Eagles 🦅 player. Thanks so much for giving us fans such great memories.
the guy that made me fall in love w the game right next to shady
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!
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
Legend, what a career! Congrats
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.
My favorite player ever
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
Forever Legend 💚💚
Legend
My favorite eagles wr
The play at 4:50 is my favorite - seeing Coughlin chewing out Dodge ;)
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.
What a throw
Favorite Eagle of all time!!!
I forgot just how insane his acceleration was
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.
Thank you for the memories champ
The most electrifying Eagles receiver of all time.
He really caught touchdowns from every era of Eagles QB I've seen! I love him!
One of the greatest Eagles of all time. Congrats on an amazing career D Jax
I think he might have been quicker than cheetah in his prime
Been one of my favorite players since cal days I’m ravens fan , still had a juice left even last year when he played for us … legend for sure !!
Desean Jackson was always the fastest player on the field. Always.
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.
Man he played from Mcnabb to Hurts as qb's? Wow
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 🦅
Seeing Desean Highlights makes me smile ☺️ I miss him 😢
Absolutely love Desean Jackson! So energetic! And so much fun to watch!
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
Great clips. DeSean catching TDs from 4 different Eagle QBs. Glad he’s retiring an Eagle. Damn Chip Kelly!
A máster receiver.
Eagles QB's. All for one, Jackson for all.
A super player.
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
One of my favourite Eagles. Wish he was on the SB winning team.
I returned so many kicks on Madden with my boy. Imagine having him return kicks for us this year instead of Covey 😂😂
Um Covey is no Jackson, but Covey has been great.
@@edwardlangdon9256 Not taking away covey’s consistency but Jackson would definitely get us tuddys.
You could say that about every punt returner in the league.
