In a career spanning over 15 seasons, starting from the 2008 NFL draft, he has recorded 11,263 receiving yards and 66 touchdowns. He ranks 37th in the NFL all-time list of most receiving yards.

He was released due to his off-field activities. Jackson responded aggressively to the situation by stating “It was a f–ked up situation for me, I took that personally. That’s why I did go to Washington, and every time I played the Eagles, I made them regret that decision,” on the All The Smoke podcast with Matt Barnes. He joined the Eagles again but failed to replicate his old form again.

Desean has given such indirect and direct statements about his retirement in the past as well. The most notable one is at ‘I am Athlete Podcast’ with Brandon Marshall.
