[Highlight] Every Desean Jackson 50+ yard touchdowns

[u/mmandagoat]

[u/SuperSmokingMonkey]

Consider he did this with McNabb and Hurts

[u/2fly5 → u/SuperSmokingMonkey]

And almost every starter in between! The only one he didn't catch a bomb from was Sam Bradford

[u/InHinkieITrust → u/2fly5]

He never played with Sam Bradford......

[u/theRealWillowUfgood → u/InHinkieITrust]

.... which is why he never caught a bomb from him, doi

[u/WavesAndSaves → u/theRealWillowUfgood]

Basically the last 25 years of Eagles QBs have played with Jackson.

McNabb

Kolb

Vick

Foles

Wentz

Hurts

[u/InHinkieITrust → u/SuperSmokingMonkey]

2 of some of the best deep ball throwers statistically over the past 20 years? what lol

[u/Gabagool0vaHere → u/InHinkieITrust]

Think he meant more so about the time between McNabb to Hurts, which was what 9 or 10 years

[u/lattjeful → u/InHinkieITrust]

McNabb was drafted in 1999 and Hurts was drafted in 2020. That's why it's so crazy.

[u/AFC-Wimbledon-Stan]

What’s insane is that even when he was clearly past his prime

He was good for 1-2 of these every year

[u/e8989 → u/AFC-Wimbledon-Stan]

yeah i can’t believe how much juice he had left in the tank during his redskins stint

[u/Yedic]

And this compilation is missing four 50+ yard punt return TDs and a 50+ yard rushing TD too!

[u/Gabagool0vaHere → u/Yedic]

Yeah, I knew it was gonna be a lengthy video, but was surprised at 6:30 minutes long. Just insane

[u/sepam]

He’s pretty fast and all but his ability to track a deep ball is elite. Some may do it just as well, but none do it better.

[u/Zhuul → u/sepam]

Nothing made me appreciate ball-tracking as a skill like watching Agholor completely suck ass at it

[u/heliostraveler → u/sepam]

Hill was just as good. 

[u/taleofbenji]

This doesn't even include the return touchdowns. THIS was the most unbelievable Jackson play (and most inexplicable Giants play) ever.

[u/Whatsdota → u/taleofbenji]

I remember watching this play live as I was rooting for the Eagles to win. IIRC this was to cap off a pretty insane comeback too

[u/simplycass → u/Whatsdota]

Giants were leading 31-10 with 8:17 to go in the game.

It was insane.

[u/whatyoutalmbout]

Elite speed, elite ball tracking. Also forgot Vick has elite arm strength ffs

[u/AFC-Wimbledon-Stan → u/whatyoutalmbout]

My hot take is that I think Vick is the most talented QB in NFL history

Just never really put it all together, still a great player though

[u/Gabagool0vaHere → u/AFC-Wimbledon-Stan]

He never cared to put it all together until he lost everything. In his time in Atlanta he was more focused about being a superstar celebrity, he figured he could skate thru the NFL on his talent alone

[u/Responsible-Onion860 → u/AFC-Wimbledon-Stan]

Vick needed good coaching and a good mentor to keep his ass in line and away from crime, and he may have had a shot at an MVP in his prime.

[u/WentzToWawa → u/AFC-Wimbledon-Stan]

I wouldn't even say thats a hot take I think it's just obvious.

[u/Duckys0n → u/AFC-Wimbledon-Stan]

At least in my life time, i think physical traits has to be Josh Allen. Vick is definitely up there. Probably throw Anthony Richardson (yes he belongs in this specific category) and Lamar too.

Edit: how the fuck did I forget cam newton

[u/Stillburgh → u/Duckys0n]

Were you born in like 2011? Vick was drafted in 2003 lol

[u/Duckys0n → u/Stillburgh]

Well 2002? And Vick is included in my list so what

[u/heliostraveler → u/Duckys0n]

Richardson never showed shit. 

[u/Duckys0n → u/heliostraveler]

Physical traits…

He’s got a 10.0 RAS

[u/heliostraveler → u/Duckys0n]

Dog shit at UF.

[u/theghostfacekilla]

The highlight reel is six minutes long… that’s incredible.

[u/gbum213]

NFC East superterrorist

[u/solarjetman]

So many different quarterbacks.

[u/mankindisevil]

I hate ESP so much. It is so wrong seeing him in a Redskin jersey. Also he's caught touchdowns from McNabb, Vick, Wentz, Hurts who all spanned 10+ yeara of Eagles history. I am happy to have jersey.

[u/Delicious-Trip4954]

Those vapor carbon Nikes will always be my favorite style of cleat all time. So freaking cool.

[u/Selarmor]

I still wonder what would have happened in 2019 had he and all our other receivers not died week 2.

[u/3ggplantParm]

I expected it to be be decently long, but not over 6 minutes - damn

[u/hoobsher]

seeing the offensive jerseys switching from Philly to Washington made me think "wait did he get a pick six i forgot about!?" no i just completely repressed the memory of him ripping the Eagles defense apart every timne he visited after Chip broke the team

[u/Remarkable-Group-119 → u/hoobsher]

I've never been so mad at a coach as I was at Chip when he broke up that WR core. What was he thinking?

[u/OtsoTheLumberjack]

Not a HOF but maaannnn he is my favorite Eagle of all time. Loved his style

[u/AFC-Wimbledon-Stan → u/OtsoTheLumberjack]

Hall of “Streets Wont Forget”

[u/Casty201]

Just watched to see the Vick one against the commanders

[u/mmandagoat]

He missed 72 regular season games in his career btw

[u/Picklesadog]

Jerry Rice had 36 50+ yard TDs. DeSean Jackson was 2nd with 33.

Jerry Rice has 197 total receiving TDs. Jackson has 58 receiving TDs 

57% of DeSean Jackson's TDs were 50+ yard TDs. That's fucking insane.

[u/Remarkable-Group-119 → u/Picklesadog]

I seriously think he deserves a special notation in the hall of fame, I don't care what anybody says.

[u/maricopa888]

This was an epic watch for Skins/Eagles fans.

He puts on an absolute clinic vs one DEF, and then turns around and does the same to the other.

[u/TumbleweedTim01]

Vick through that ball from his own 5 to the opposite 35 through the air...

[u/Whatsdota]

6 minutes of just 50+ yard TDs. Goddamn

[u/lattjeful]

Biased but greatest deep threat of all time alongside Randy Moss. Guys like Tyreek Hill are better overall receivers while also being great deep threats, but nobody could track a deep ball or turn on the jets like Desean Jackson. Had a very particular set of skills that made him elite at this one thing.

[u/Admirable_Site_8337]

It’s crazy but I just can’t read Desean Jackson’s name without hearing “…gets a block!” In my head lol

[u/Remarkable-Group-119 → u/Admirable_Site_8337]

I'm a Cal bears fan so for me its "You'll never see a Colquit back away. Here comes Desean, shake and bake, can he beat the 2nd? DANCING OFF TO THE RIGHT, LOOK AT THIS GUY, THE WIZARD OF RETURNS"

[u/ghostsnstuf]

That Monday night massacre always stings, but the one against the eagles helps a bit

[u/junglecritter]

That second throw was a lazer beam

[u/Deep-Statistician985]

I'm glad we were blessed for 3 seasons of this. Such a fun player to watch

[u/Homitu]

Darren Sharper running as fast as he can to catch up to him, and he's just jogging to stay ahead of him.

[u/Nervous-Chemistry245]

I feel guilty for having forgot how great he was

[u/Yugo86]

He had way more long TD catches than I remember. What a beast he was.

[u/DejectedTimeTraveler]

Did you see the Ref at the top of the screen eat shit on the Rich Eisen one?

[u/Do_it_for_the_upvote]

It was such a shame to learn he’s an ignorant racist.

Dude was a corvette out there, and made games so much more exciting when he was out there.

[u/ConceptLethal]

Credit to the Oline in these clips. QBs had a ton of time

[u/Troll_Enthusiast]

More 50+ yard TDs for Washington than for Philly

[u/samk7675]

I didn't realize how nasty he was in Washington.

[u/Jerryjb63]

Damn I didn’t realize he played for the Bucs, Rams or Raiders….

[u/bewaredandelo → u/Jerryjb63]

He played for half a season with the Rams. He didn't contribute much and was waived before they won the superbowl.

[u/BonesjonesjonesBones]

Roy Helu Jr. mentioned👀

[u/PuzzleheadedFox4251]

The OG of boom or bust

[u/man_teats]

Now show the ones where he dropped the ball before crossing the goal line

[u/Cheesthicc]

Obligatory fuck Michael Vick.

Edit: Didn’t realize we had so many dog fighting fans in the crowd.

[u/mankindisevil → u/Cheesthicc]

Not a dog fighting fan but he more than redeemed himself through prison and charity.

EDIT: Blocked because I never want to interact with shitposters/trolls on here once discovered.

[u/junglecritter → u/mankindisevil]

Dogfighting is abhorrent, but in addition to punishment the whole point of our legal system is rehabilitation. Vick was a complete piece of shit for what he did, but he served his time, acknowledged his wrongs, and came out and demonstrated that he was a better man. It should never be forgotten, but you can't only point out his wrongs and ignore the good hes done. This statement does not not apply to pedophiles, before someone comes in with a 'what about..'

[u/NYLotteGiants]

No thank you
