However, if a person is truly going to stand a chance to compete in a league filled with the best players on the planet, then they must have an enhanced belief in themselves; especially if that person has to make up for some physical limitations. It is also no shock that a receiver would really like extra passes after catching 56 a yr in the past, his first season in Washington.

The word poked at his competitive side, prompting DeSean Jackson to issue a reminder.
I always love to do more.
He led the NFL with 13 catches for 40 yards or more – five more than any other wideout. As an injury update of what was reported to be a dislocated finger for Jackson, the wide receiver said “just popped it back in place”.
“To score touchdowns, to have energy, to light my team up, to get everyone riled up, to continue to go on the field and play at a high level”.
The Redskins need that high level of play in 2015. They have been advised to throw to him even when he was coated, figuring out considered one of Jackson’s strengths was separating from defensive backs downfield.
DeSean Jackson has no equal on the football field and the veteran receiver feels that no one can stop him regardless of who is lined up across from him.
The Redskins used Griffin, Kirk Cousins and Colt McCoy behind center last season, and Jackson says that can only be a positive. “You want it to be the right time because if you’re just forcing things they might come up with an interception”. [Brewer: Redskins may have found their fixer] Williams’s assessment carries weight, not simply “cause he has played alongside Griffin ’cause the Redskins drafted the 2011 Heisman Trophy victor out of Baylor in 2012, yet in addition ’cause he’s the player charged with keeping off opponents” most unsafe pass rushers the longest. That is what Jackson likes to listen to. “That cut up second permits me to get excessive”. It’s just all about repetition now and gaining more knowledge of the system, anticipation and a feel for the throws and the protections and the run game…
It could make Jackson even tougher to guard.

Jackson, by the way, will have the opportunity to put his money where his mouth is on October. 18, when Washington visits Revis and the New York Jets. No doubt, Revis will look to stop Jackson.
