Jackson had two stints with the Eagles. The Eagles drafted Jackson in the second round of the 2008 NFL Draft. He stayed in Philadelphia through the 2013 season and earned three Pro Bowl appearances during that span.
Jackson returned to the Eagles for the 2019 and 2020 seasons. He would go on to win Super Bowl LV with the Los Angeles Rams for the 2022 season. Jackson played his final NFL game as a member of the Baltimore Ravens during the 2022 season.
Jackson finished with 641 receptions for 11,263 yards and 58 receiving touchdowns in his NFL career.

Eagles def have to win this game now. DeSean is going to be honored. He and McCoy are still 2 of my all time favorite players.
I hated Chip so much his while time here. I threw a freaking party when he got fired.— Elisa Palmarini-Simmons (@ElisaPalmarini) November 29, 2023
@DeSeanJackson10 always showed Philly an electrifying time. Happy he will be officially a forever Phila Eagle.
