Philadelphia Eagles: Another look at DeSean Jackson’s first few days in Philly

It’s official. DeSean Jackson is back with the Philadelphia Eagles, and his first few days with his current and former team have been action packed to say the least.

Do you think anyone’s excited about DeSean Jackson being back in Philadelphia Eagles green? By now, you’ve probably seen that punt return against the New York Giants about twenty times. That is, if you weren’t checking out the bomb to ’10’ from Michael Vick in that Monday Night game or all of the otherworldly things he did time and time against the Dallas Cowboys (or the Philadelphia Eagles for that matter).

Everything we kept hearing as early as Monday came to fruition as the new league year began on Wednesday at 4 P.M. EST and Philly officially announced they had traded a 2019 sixth-round selection and a 2020 seventh-round selection to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to bring ‘D-Jax’ home.

A day later, Jackson put pen to paper.

Cue the Eagles’ social media team. Is there any other NFL team on the planet that has a crew that’s better at this type of stuff?

Then came the super souped up highlight reel. If the last clip didn’t get the blood flowing, this one should definitely do it. If not, you may want to check your pulse.

Then came the obligatory introductory press conference with several members of the Philadelphia media and a nice sit-down with Eagles Insider Dave Spadaro.

As if all of that wasn’t enough, ‘here they come’ hashtags popped up all over Twitter, Instagram and Facebook as Jackson showed up at a Sixers game to ring the pregame bell. As expected, everyone was standing.

Jackson’s ridden his figurative horse back into Philly like a conquering hero, and now, the hope is he can recreate some of the magic that made Eagles fans love him in the first place. 356 of his 589 career receptions, 32 of his 53 career touchdowns and all of his four return touchdowns came in an Eagles jersey.

Some have asked about what some might say if Jackson isn’t the same guy who left Philly after the 2013 NFL season. Here’s another question those same people may want to consider now. What if he is that guy?
