DeSean Jackson answers the big Eagles question on Delaware St. introductory press originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
He was (and still is) a fan favorite for good reason.
Former Eagle DeSean Jackson had his introductory press conference as head coach of the Delaware State football team on Wednesday. And given the proximity to Philadelphia, the Eagles were raised. Naturally.
Jackson was asked about the upcoming Wild Card matchup Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field. More specifically, “how bad” he thinks the Eagles will beat the Green Bay Packers.
Echoes of “Go Birds!” filled the room before he could answer.
“One thing I’ll say about the Birds, man, I bleed green. Just know that,” Jackson said. “So this week we’re going to beat (the Packers) pretty bad.
“We’re going to do our thing. We’re going to the Super Bowl. I bet on my dogs and they’re going to do it. Fly Eagles, fly.”
Jackson spent 15 seasons in the NFL before retiring in 2022. The wide receiver had two stints with the Eagles and has the third-most receiving yards in franchise history (6,512).
After retiring, Jackson was hired as the offensive coordinator for the Woodrow Wilson High School football team in Long Beach, California.
He was officially named head coach of the Delaware State University Hornets on December 27, 2024.
“I’m excited. I’m ready to go,” Jackson said Wednesday. “I’m really ready to get on the field now. You guys are lucky we have all these NCAA rules. I’m ready to get to work.”
