DeSean Jackson

“There's no point in living in the past.”

“I think it comes with making all the big plays and scoring all these touchdowns. It brings a lot of attention on yourself.”

“When you're in college you're just like, 'I can't wait to get to the NFL. I'm going to be getting paid.' But once you get here, everything's totally different.”

“I always love to do more. Whatever opportunity I get to make a play I'll make the most of my skills. To score touchdowns, to have energy, to light my team up, to get everyone riled up, to continue to go on the field and play at a high level. I just try to set the tempo, playing at a high level and everyone else can follow.”

“Everything I do on the field is for my team.”

“Anytime you have somebody that's coming from where you come from, you take it a little personal because they represent what you represent.”

“The best thing I can say is that I put it all on the line for my teammates, my family, and my coaches.”

“Bullying is not going to make your mom proud. It's not going to pay your bills. It's nothing to be proud of.”

“If I take a stand for something, then it's an issue. 'Oh, he's about to get fined for that.' Why does the fine matter? Why does it matter in the course of what I'm trying to do? It isn't about the fine.”

“You get to a certain point where you feel comfortable. You've got everybody praising you for what you do where you come from, sometimes you let down your guard.”

“I never have, not once, not been a team guy.”

“You've got a born date and you've got a death date. In between that time, how are you going to make the most out of it?”

“I'm never content regardless of me having a contract. I'm not content.”

“The best I can say is that you move forward in your life. After every step you take, you can't go backward.”

“On the field if a shoe is too tight, that is the last thing you want,' he says. 'You don't want something uncomfortable that you can't perform in.”

“My dad, he only wants the best for me.”

“I'm trying to be there when my number is called and even when my number is not called.”

“I missed one meeting probably out of my whole career. But at the end of the day, once again, we're not perfect.”

“I've had a great time in Washington. I love the city. A lot of great times and a lot of great memories.”

“My dad had a dream of his kids reaching the NFL. My older brother was actually the first to make it. His career didn't really last too long, but he always had more passion for documentaries.”
