DeSean will retire as a member of Philadelphia.

Former Pro Bowl WR DeSean Jackson is retiring as a member of the Philadelphia Eagles at the end of the week and will be an honorary captain for the organization’s match in the weekend vs. San Francisco 49ers at Lincoln Financial Field.

The wide receiver played 8 of his 15 National Football League campaigns with Philly, earning all 3 of his Pro Bowl appearances with the Eagles. DeSean was a match-breaker as a receiver and returner, leading the NFL in yards per reception 4 times.

DeSean Jackson was a phenomenal playmaker who captivated Philadelphia supporters with his match-breaking speed, unique skill set, and dynamic style,” Philadelphia chairman Jeffrey Lurie announced. “What made him truly stand out from all other players during his 15-season career was his ability to make extremely hard things on the field to look easy.”
