DeSean!

What an exciting signing and way to shake up the NFC East! Suddenly, the Redskins have a potent offense so long as they can stay healthy (knock on wood). Given his small stature, it's somewhat surprising that Jackson hasn't experienced long bouts of game absences due to injury. We've already seen firsthand how talented RG3 and Jordan Reed can be but we have also seen them both miss games.


A second reason to love DeSean Jackson - he hails from my Alma Mater, UC Berkeley. As a college player, Jackson led a few talented Cal squads and even made the cover of the EA Sports NCAA '09 game, two years removed from his last game.

On the flip side, though, Rich Tandler makes a great point on CSNWashington.com about the very limited window Washington has before contracts start blowing up in the next 2-3 years. Despite core talent being young, if they all perform as well as expected, the team won't be able to keep everyone.
