35-year-old DeSean Jackson told reporters last week that he was not retired and remained intent on continuing his NFL career.
Earlier this week, those plans came to fruition after Jackson signed with the Ravens.

“I’ve been keeping my eye on Lamar for a little while now,” Jackson told Ravens.com.
“I see a lot of characteristics to Michael Vick. He beat some of his records so obviously he’s the new era of Michael Vick. Being able to play with Michael Vick, being able to come and play with Lamar, it’s a blessing for me.
