In the second round of the NFL draft the Philadelphia Eagles selected wide receiver DeSean Jackson from the University of California. Many Eagles fans were excited that they got a fast kick returner to help out there special teams. Fans were so happy to see him come out on the field and take kick returns. However fans didn't realize how good of a wide receiver he was. DeSean made a great impact which helped the Eagles score on offense. With Kevin Curtis and Reggie Brown injured in the beginning of the season DeSean helped lead the Eagles team. DeSean is the number one receiver the eagles have. Kevin Curtis and Reggie Brown have came back from there injuries, but they haven't been posting good numbers. DeSean leads the team with 42 receptions for 652 yards. DeSean only has one receiving touchdown. He also has played a role in the runing game rushing for 80 yards on the season with one rushing touchdown. On the punt return he has a total of 341 yards with one touchdown. Compare to other rookies DeSean Jackson is having a great year. He is most likely in the talk for rookie of the year. I am not sure if he will win, but for a rookie he is having a great season. DeSean is only 5'11 and 175 pounds which isn't very big, but size doesn't matter. You can be small and still be a great NFL player. . This kid has the potential to become a big time receiver in the NFL. He can become a big time receiver, but it is up to him. Is he willing to push himself to go that extra step. Personally I think he will push himself and become an elite player. I am excited for the future to see how DeSean will play.
