Youthful DeSean Jackson is 'No. 1' again with Bucs

TAMPA, Fla. -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson turned some heads when he took the field for the first practice of OTAs wearing a No. 1 jersey. He'll be wearing No. 11 for the Bucs this fall, but he'll continue wearing No. 1 in practice throughout the season, something he did at Washington, too.

That's the number he wore as a budding star in Pop Warner, in high school and when he caught 162 passes in three seasons at Cal. And he believes it gives him a psychological edge.

"It kind of keeps my youth," Jackson said.
