Jason Kelce on what DeSean Jackson brings to the Eagles offense

The Philadelphia Eagles are preparing to soar this season, and it could all be because of the return of one of the fastest deep ball threats in NFL history. DeSean Jackson takes the top off of every defense he faces and Carson Wentz has never had a weapon like No. 10 on the outside.

“The guy is an unbelievable player, he’s fast, explosive and he enables us to stretch the field on offense.” “He opens up things on the ground, underneath and makes the safeties play honestly.”

Jackson has 589 catches for 10,261 yards with 53 touchdowns during his 11 year NFL career. He enhances a quality skill position group led by tight Zach Ertz and receivers Alshon Jeffery, Nelson Agholor and JJ Arcega-Whiteside.

Jackson is expected to start the Eagles season opener against the Redskins, despite suffering a broken finger over a week ago.
