You might not like DeSean Jackson. You might consider him to be a selfish “me” guy – more concerned with his own stats. But you must concede that the dude gets downfield and makes plays.

Jackson has 23 receptions of 40-plus yards in the last three years. That’s 4 more than anyone else, and over twice as many as the vast majority of receivers.

He’s also averaged 17.5 yards per catch over the last three years. That’s No. 1 among receivers who’ve caught at least 150 passes.
