DeSean Jackson: 'Sky's the limit'
"I feel the sky’s the limit for myself," Jackson said Wednesday. "I think this year, with Chip coming in with the style of play of his offense, it’s really going to help me out a lot more as well. I’m going to be able to get certain looks, get the ball in my hand, do things I wasn’t doing the past five years. So that’s going to be an exciting time for myself. I’m going to have to be fully prepared, fully in shape, fully healthy."
