As a child who grew up in Los Angeles, DeSean Jackson relishes the memory of attending his first NFL game (at the age of 7 or 8) at the LA Coliseum.
The Raiders were hosting the Kansas City Chiefs, who Jackson’s older brother Byron Jackson had previously played for. A young DeSean Jackson roamed the Chiefs’ sideline and was mesmerized. At that moment, Jackson knew he wanted to play professional football as an adult.
Sunday, his NFL life comes full circle as the 14-year veteran is expected to make his Las Vegas Raiders debut .
