The Philadelphia Eagles know all too well that wide receiver DeSean Jackson likes to make a big entrance. That’s allegedly part of the reason they decided to release the showboating wideout who was in turn picked up by fellow NFC East rival, the Washington Redskins.

Unable to change the spots on a leopard, Washington Redskins fans will have to get used to DeSean Jackson’s over the top antics and me-first attitude which he’ll put on display August 18th when he makes his debut in a Redskins uniform.
That just so happens to be Monday Night Football, though, I’m guessing you aren’t exactly shocked by that.
Washington will be hosting the Cleveland Browns in the tilt and given the hype surrounding Johnny Manziel, it’s only right that DeSean Jackson get in on the party as well.

Seriously, a game featuring two of the biggest enimga’s in the NFL? Not only might the internet explode, but your televisions may not be able to handle it all.
If you’re wondering why DeSean Jackson didn’t make his Washington Redskins debut against the New England Patriots, it’s because the wideout was cleated by Patriots corner Darrelle Revis during a joint practice session. Not wanting to risk any further injury the Redskins and Jackson felt it was better he sit out and be healthy down the road.
Apparently feeling fine, we’ll see how well Jackson looks in his new threads next Monday, though don’t expect too much playing time. It’s likely we’ll only see the first unit for a series or possibly two.
