DeSean Jackson mercifully retires to avoid torturing Giants fans anymore

DeSean Jackson Giants NFL Eagles

Mama, there goes that man.

DeSean Jackson officially retired from the NFL on Wednesday. His retirement marks the end of an illustrious 15-year career where he made a living wrecking the teams one play at a time and scoring touchdowns like he was born to do it.

Jackson’s final accolades include Second-Team All-Pro, NFL records for touchdowns over 60 yards (26) and touchdowns over 80 yards (5, tied) and landing in the top 50 players for most receiving yards ever.

Simply put, he was electric, and it’s hard to think of the Eagles and not imagine Jackson donning the green and white. When I look back over his career, there’s one play in my mind that should never be forgotten.

I present to you — and to the horror of Giants fans everywhere — the Miracle at the New Meadowlands. What a guy.
