TAMPA, Fla. -- Thirty years old and heading into his 10th NFL season, DeSean Jackson is still so fast that no one at Tampa Bay Buccaneers camp is interested in challenging him to a race.
"Not yet, no one's asked yet," the first-year Buc said after practice Sunday. "I like my odds, though. I still feel like I'd take me over anybody."
The Buccaneers feel that way, too, which is why they went after Jackson in free agency and signed him to a three-year, $33.5 million contract with $20 million guaranteed. Quarterback Jameis Winston was taking too many hits, and part of the reason was the team's lack of speed and explosiveness on offense.
