At the ripe old age of 34, DeSean Jackson has a terrible resume his last 2 seasons as a professional WR.
2020 Philadelphia: Games played 5, Receptions 14, Yards 236, YPC 16.9, Longest catch 81, TD 1
2019 Philadelphia: Games played 3, Receptions 9, Yards 159, YPC 17.7, Longest catch 53, TD 2
2018 Buccaneers: Games played 12, Receptions 41, Yards 774, YPC 18.9, Longest catch 75, TD 4
He balled a little bit like his old self in 2018 but his most recent 2 seasons have been plagued by injuries and a huge drop in production.
Even if you throw in his 2017 stats there are red flags showing he's declined from the WR he was from 2013 to 2016.
2017 Buccaneers: Games played 14, Receptions 50, Yards 668, YPC 13.4, Longest catch 41, TD 3
The good news is McVay and his guru trainer Reggie Smith will prepare and train Jackson differently than he was during the last 2 seasons.
They will try their best to keep him fresh with their own training regime in 2021 and he probably will not get any snaps in the coming preseason.
The bad news is Jackson has been on the back 9 of his career since the 2017 season ended. We can be honest and agree, that was a log time ago.
There is little doubt that DeSean will train and prepare for 2021 on a different level than he did the last 2 seasons under the guidance of the Rams training staff.
There is also no guarantee that the Rams methods will assure us he's going to last the duration of a 17 game season in 2021.
This is obviously why the Rams selected a similar type rookie WR deep ball specialist (insurance) Tutu Atwell with their first pick #57 overall in the 2nd round of the 2021 NFL draft.
The 2 most exciting and unpredictable WR's for the Rams in 2021 will be DeSean Jackson and Tutu Atwell. They are the deep threat field stretching additions the Rams have been missing the last 2 seasons.
