Believe it or not, DeSean Jackson is an old man now, but he’s a lock to make the roster. His speed, leadership, and experience is something Wentz and the other wide receivers should be willing to rely on. Jackson’s speed was showcased in Week 1 of the 2019 season, and that was the only time Wentz had a reliable deep threat all year.

Jackson’s speed opens up the offense, which creates more room for the tight ends to break loose. He also creates opportunities for other receivers as opposing defenses are forced to focus on him.

Fortunately, the point has been proven. The front office has seen what Wentz can do with elite speed on the outside, so in the draft, they added four downfield threats.

Jackson’s speed opens up the offense, which creates more room for the tight ends to break loose. He also creates opportunities for other receivers as opposing defenses are forced to focus on him. The only knock on Jackson has been his age and his injuries, He hasn’t played a full season since the last time he was in Philadelphia after undergoing season-ending surgery in 2019.
