DeSean Jackson is 32 years old, but that hasn’t affected the confidence of the Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver, and the proof remains in the pudding. D-Jax hasn’t lost a step. Still the game’s best deep ball wide receiver, his stats in Tampa Bay proved that. Jackson believes without a doubt that he’s still the fastest wide receiver in the game today.
“Shoot I like myself,” Jackson said, via Dave Uram of SportsRadio WIP. “I’ll bet against anybody. I know they got the fastest 40-time thing, but my focus is being here and training with my teammates. I feel like I am (the fastest), so whoever want it … let’s get it.”
In 2018 with the Bucs, Jackson had seven catches that went over 30 yards, with four going for touchdowns. Jackson finished the season with 41 catches for 774 yards and four touchdowns, leading the NFL with 18.9 yards per catch.
