DeSean Jackson Announces He is Retiring as a Philadelphia Eagle

Three-time Pro Bowler DeSean Jackson will retire Friday as a member of the Eagles, Philadelphia announced Wednesday morning.

"DeSean Jackson was a dynamic playmaker who captivated Eagles fans with his game-breaking speed, unique skill set, and explosive play," Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie said in a team release. "What made DeSean truly stand out during his accomplished 15-year career was his ability to make miraculous plays look routine."

Jackson spent 2008-13 and the 2019 and ’20 seasons with Philadelphia; his 6,512 receiving yards rank third in team history. The 2006 All-American from California also spent time with Washington, the Buccaneers, the Raiders, the Rams and the Ravens.
