1. DeSean Jackson, WR

Let’s get to the obvious one here. DeSean Jackson at 32-years-old is easily the fastest player on the team. From previous experience, we found out first-hand that Jackson’s speed just makes him a flat-out entertaining player to watch. Not to mention, his celebrations have always been great.

Hopefully, Jackson will get to put his celebrations to the test this season. With the way Carson Wentz has been targeting his new veteran wideout, we don’t doubt that Jackson will land in the end zone quite a few times this year. It’s been said before that Wentz needed a wideout as quick as Jackson to play to the best of his ability.

Well, now Wentz has got him, and so far he hasn’t been shy about using him. After his sizeable standing ovation, while taking the field, the Eagles and Jackson gave the crowd the type of show that they wanted. Many are excited to see the connection of Wentz and Jackson develop in real-time, but Sunday’s practice will be sure to hold everyone over.
