The Rams believe veteran receiver DeSean Jackson still has the world-class speed that made him a coveted recruit out of Long Beach Poly 17 years ago.
“I just kind of felt they took it for granted that I’m in their backyard and they’re the best school, they’re winning all these championships — ‘Oh, we got them in the cup,’” Jackson said. “I felt like they were giving other recruits better treatment.

He said that getting away enabled him to “grow up on my own” and “kind of like create my own destiny.” “We had some of those crazy games and passes and stuff that was like some of the funnest ball to play,” he said.
Before the 2020 season, Jackson was at the center of controversy because of his social media posts that included images of anti-Semitic quotes falsely attributed to Adolf Hitler. He also posted messages in admiration of Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, who has been identified as anti-Semitic by the Anti-Defamation League and Southern Poverty Law Center.
