Jackson is one of the league’s most explosive playmakers. He is a three-time Pro Bowler in 2009, 2010 and 2013 who became the first player in NFL history to earn a Pro Bowl berth at two positions in 2009. In his first season in Washington in 2014, Jackson averaged 20.9 yards per reception on 56 catches, becoming the first member of the Redskins to finish a season as the NFL leader in yards per reception since Henry Ellard in 1996. He joined the Redskins as a free agent in the 2014 offseason after having previously appeared in 87 regular season games with 86 starts. In his first six seasons with Philadephia, he amassed 356 receptions for 6,117 yards (17.2 avg.) with 32 receiving touchdowns and 57 rushing attempts for 373 yards (6.5 avg.) and three rushing touchdowns. Jackson also returned 131 punts for 1,294 yards (9.9 avg.) with four touchdowns and added 29 yards on four kick returns in that span. He became one of only two players in NFL history to have recorded a rushing touchdown, receiving touchdown and punt return touchdown in each of his first three seasons, joining Dick Todd, who accomplished the feat with the Redskins from 1939-41.
Jackson was selected by the Philadelphia Eagles in the second round (49th overall) of the 2008 NFL Draft, then was designated Eagles’ franchise player on March 1, 2012. Re-signed with Philadelphia on March 14, 2012, but was then released on March 28, 2014. He signed with Washington on April 2, 2014.
In 2016, Jackson recorded 56 receptions for 1005 recieving yards and four touchdows, with a 17.9 average yards per reception.
