DeSean Jackson named Eagles’ training camp MVP by ESPN.com

DeSean Jackson is back where he belongs, rocking the Eagles green in Philadelphia and the speedy wideout has brought explosiveness that’s been missing around the NovaCare Complex.

ESPN.com’s NFL Nation broke down the training camp MVP for all 32 teams, and D-Jax got the nod for the Birds, as the player that stood out the most.

Philadelphia Eagles

Wide receiver DeSean Jackson

At 32 years old, Jackson remains an impossible matchup for defensive backs in a training camp setting. Every day he’s made at least one splash play, usually via a long bomb from quarterback Carson Wentz. Rejuvenated by returning to his old team, Jackson has been fully engaged, is assuming a mentorship role for some of the young receivers and looks like he’s ready to do some damage this season. — Tim McManus

If Jackson can continue to lead the NFL in yards per reception, while taking the top off of defenses, this Eagles team could shatter every offensive record in franchise history.
