DeSean Jackson was great NFL receiver but DSU leads FCS in rushing

As a player, DeSean Jackson was among the NFL’s best at ensuring his team gained yardage through the air.

Often that was by Jackson catching long throws downfield or turning shorter receptions into big gains with his speed and elusiveness.

As the Delaware State coach, however, Jackson’s team is better than any at its level at football’s gritty, old-fashioned way of gobbling up yardage.
