Eagles WR DeSean Jackson met with 94-year-old Holocaust survivor as he vows to continue to educate himself

DeSean Jackson is continuing to take steps to show that he’s learned from his experiences and on Friday, the Eagles star had a virtual zoom meeting with 94-year-old Holocaust survivor, Edward Mosberg per his Instagram account.

The Eagles announced earlier in the day that Jackson had been fined and disciplined for sharing an anti-Semitic post on his Instagram account that was falsely attributed to Adolph Hitler.

The Eagles called Jackson’s posts “offensive, harmful and absolutely appalling” and said the team would take “appropriate action.” Both team owner Jeffrey Lurie and general manager Howie Roseman are Jewish.

Patriots star wideout Julian Edelman also reached out to Jackson recently and the two plan on working together to help educate each other.
