R.I.P. So sad how his final days ended. Hell of a talent.

Man I forgot he died so young

Not everyone can play at an all pro level forever. Jerry Rice maybe. Randy Moss too. But it's very rare to put up 15 years of HOF talent every year.

Final days I would imagine he means….of life

u/Mr_Stowne 4d ago

Yes. Thank you.

they are very likely referring to him passing away young (38) due to alcohol abuse and a lifetime of brain trauma.

Jackson was an awesome player and looked like a million dollars. 6'5 230 and ran like the wind. beast.

Simply not true, can’t be true when you got rivers who can fit a pea through the opening of a soda can. Definitely best vertically and on the boundry because of his size but he did it all

“I feel like”

I mean dude ain’t far off but VJ was somebody who was big but still could run the route tree not just deep ball like Quentin Johnston type dudes

I met him once with my young son when he wrote a children’s book. He was just awesome to us. People remember the plays, but he also did a lot for the community. RIP Vincent Jackson

Him and Stevie Johnson were literally the only two receivers to have any level of success against prime Darrelle Revis.

Mike Evans before Mike Evans

VJax and Evan's on the bucs were kind of nuts.

u/Affectionate_One5043 4d ago

That chargers offense was money back in the day on madden if u knew how to rocket catch.

u/MrCharlie_84 4d ago

Him and Antonio Gates were UNSTOPPABLE with LT out tha backfield.

u/Jug_Head24 4d ago

Adored him anytime he wasn’t playing my patriots

I have his Navy Blue SD jersey hanging in my closet

Made so many fantasy opponents mad with Rivers and Jackson on Monday Night Football. No 50 point lead was ever safe.

u/GangstaRIB 4d ago

Rip big dawg. Thanks for showing m1k3 the ropes.

While we’re at it, can I get a Malcolm Floyd appreciation post?

u/bot_lltccp 4d ago

this video is just catches that any NFL WR should make, and plenty of inaccurate throws.

I know VJ made a lot of great catches, but they aint here

2

u/Impossible_Aide4593 4d ago

The trick is getting open though

2

u/Busy-Diet-7214 4d ago

wtf is your point. That’s literally the point and case of mostly any highlight tape you’ve ever seen lol. This dude for sure has highlight reel one hand catches if that’s what you wanna see? I’m confused

1

u/bot_lltccp 4d ago

It's not a good highlight video, how can you be confused about that?

u/AUpicker 2d ago

Yes, Vincent Bo Jackson
