Eagles legend secures next opportunity

Eagles legend secures next opportunity

A former Philadelphia Eagles star has found his next big opportunity.

Former Eagles star receiver DeSean Jackson clearly knows a thing or two about football. He was selected by the Eagles in the second round of the 2008 National Football League Draft and quickly became one of the most dangerous outside weapons in football.

He spent the first six seasons of his career as a member of the Eagles, earning three Pro Bowl nominations and being named All-Pro. Jackson also became one of the league’s best return specialists with Philadelphia.

Jackson also spent time with the Washington Commanders, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and a second time with Philadelphia, Los Angeles Rams, Las Vegas Raiders and Baltimore Ravens throughout his career.

Now he’s taking his talent and knowledge of the game elsewhere. Jackson joins a list of former NFL stars in returning to college as a coach. According to ESPN’s Pete Thamel, Jackson reportedly got the coaching job at Delaware State.

“Desean Jackson and Delaware State are finalizing an agreement for him to take the head coaching job there, according to ESPN sources,” Thamel said. “He has conducted an interview on campus in recent days and the two sides are expected to meet in the near future.”

Jackson isn’t the only former NFL star returning to the college game. Fellow Eagles star Michael Vick recently committed to Norfolk State, and former New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick landed the head coaching job at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
