The NFL season begins with all 32 teams at 0-0 and all aspiring to win the coveted Lombardi trophy. Well with all the turmoil going on in Washington DC, DeSean Jackson doesn’t seem too optimistic with the Washington Redskins’ season.
In a recent interview with GQ, Jackson gave an honest answer of what he expects of Redskins contending this year.
GQ: Do you feel like you guys will contend this year?
Jackson: [Long silence] Uh…how ’bout I say, uh…Let me see what I can answer to that question.
The Redskins have been in the news with Robert Griffin III in concussion protocols to being demoted to the back up duty, losing his starting quarterback spot to Kirk Cousins. Redskins Head Coach Jay Gruden doesn’t seem to have any momentum from preseason heading into regular season.
Jackson will be needed heavily to assist Cousins in the arial attack if they want to stay relevant in the NFC East division to contend for a NFC Wildcard spot.
