In 15 NFL seasons, wide receiver DeSean Jackson put together a relatively impressive resume, which includes three Pro Bowl nods, and he led the league four times in yards per reception.
In 2021, he joined the Los Angeles Rams, who had gone all-in in an attempt to win a Super Bowl championship, but he didn’t play much, and at midseason, he asked to be released, which he was.
While Jackson ended up getting a Super Bowl ring from the Rams, he said on Fox Sports 1’s “Speak” that he regrets not staying put in L.A. and being with them when they clinched the Vince Lombardi Trophy.

By 2021, Jackson wasn’t quite the consistent threat he had been just a few years prior, and he was low on the list of offensive priorities for head coach Sean McVay.
He did reference the Week 3 contest in which he had 120 yards and a touchdown on just three catches against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and he felt afterward that he could’ve done more for the Rams.
Instead of finishing out the year with the eventual world champions, Jackson was picked up by the Las Vegas Raiders, where he was also used sparingly.
He finished the 2021 campaign with a total of just 20 catches for 454 yards and two touchdowns.
He had just nine catches for 153 yards in seven games the following year as a member of the Baltimore Ravens, and after signing a one-day contract with the Philadelphia Eagles, his original team, last November, he retired from the NFL.
