DeSean Jackson: Savior or Slacker?

Share

An article on Yahoo! today is titled "Jackson could become McNabb's savior." It starts out rather positive, touting the game changing speed DeSean will bring to the offense but then it says this.

The problem is that Jackson has this tendency to act like a kid who
thinks it’s cool to sit in the back of class and stare at the ceiling
tiles with a disaffected attitude. During every individual drill,
Jackson was the last in line to do the exercise. When wide receivers
coach David Culley stopped to talk to the group, Jackson was the first
(and often the only) one to take off his helmet. He looked off in every
direction except directly at Culley.

About the only time Jackson seemed to pay full attention was when
Reid was observing up close. In the NFL, you have to work harder than
just when the big boss is looking.

That's certainly not encouraging. We've heard about Jackson's prima donna nature in the past. Birds fans will certainly be hoping that this is just a phase and one of the veteran guys can straighten him out.
