Former Eagles WR DeSean Jackson ready to lead DSU: 'Feels better than draft day'

An Eagles fan favorite is now experiencing the game from the other side.
Former wide receiver DeSean Jackson is now the new football coach at Delaware State University. It's a huge hire for the HBCU, and Jackson's impact is expected to go beyond the game.
"This selection right here, this feels better than draft day," he said to a crowd of supporters and administrators gathered inside the student union on the Delaware State University campus Wednesday afternoon. "It feels better than draft day I promise you!"

My favorite NFL player of all time completely underrated as a NFL player

[@Foreign84]

Lmao he was never underrated 😂😂😂😂

[@CodyBradshaw443]

He was ur favorite of all time??he not even in top 10 at wr position..maybe as a punt returner..u tripping

[@gboogie360]

Hope he turns that program around

[@Isaiahduplaix88]

This is the Deion Sanders effect... They've won 2 games in 2 years... Good luck sir

[@gavcastellano4929]

Well it’s smart to start with loosing teams because you can only climb up and bring big or decent names

[@Isaiahduplaix88]

@gavcastellano4929 I'm not knocking him, I'm a Desean Jackson fan. I think he's underrated as a player honestly, but this is going to be a tall hill to climb. I'm rooting for him 💪

[@gavcastellano4929]

@@Isaiahduplaix88 yeah my bad I read it comes off as bad. I just meant that their a loosing team he’s only gunna improve them with talent who wanna learn from him

[@phillywizkidz]

Coach Jackson congrats I know they got themselves GREAT LEADER and MENTOR .God Bless 🎉🎉🎉

[@bryandungee1029]

What makes him a great leader???

[@phillywizkidz]

@bryandungee1029 his integrity, the way he was raised, and having god first in your life ..

[@reubensandwich9249]

​@@phillywizkidzAre you sure you're not thinking about another DeSean Jackson?

[@HanSoloBolo]

Why not? When the playing field is leveled and we get opportunities to coach we excel. Most coaches that they recycle and parade around aren’t that good anyway. The good ol boy network needs to be broken up and shaken up. They make it seem like a Chip Kelly or a Mike McDaniel are geniuses that are from another planet. Ultimately they are probably no different than an average coach. Good to see D Jack entering the coaching world

[@brentdavis62]

D JAXS congratulations

[@ypdafranchise4216]

Everyone trying to get the next coach prime aye?

[@alexandriaocasio-smollett5078]

I am rooting for him. But every fiber of my being has me convinced this is going to be a disaster.

[@eamonkelley3811]

I think Vick will run a better program but Desean will give his team headlines and spotlight which is a win overall.

[@reubensandwich9249]

I think Allen Iverson, a player famous for the practice rant, would make a better coach.

[@rlm5657]

He's bringing in talent who would have never considered DSU. We've been losing for years. We've already hit bottom.

[@dini5894]

Bros gonna be smoking a blunt while giving his pregame speech lmaoooo

[@Bellthorian]

Here is the ting, he doesn't need to be an X's and O's coach, that is what coordinators are. He needs to be a Jimmy's and Joe's guy and they will be just fine.

[@mnoell35]

They may not win,but they’ll have fresh ideas from a young coach,that not to far from his playing days.

[@WorryDontAbout]

You think Deshawn is a leader of a man. Hes not even a good man himself smh,

That school ain’t do no real background check on this hire.more qualified candidates than a retired nfl player who reppin 40 crip.

I just don't see him as a head coach honestly. Yet good luck to him.
