DeSean Jackson uses more than speed to hurt defenses

It appears as if the Washington Redskins will finally get DeSean Jackson back on the field for the first time since he left the first quarter of the season opener with a strained hamstring.

He is expected to return a much-needed element of explosiveness to Washington’s offense. Jackson during his first season with the team certainly made his presence felt.
