Redskins Sign DeSean Jackson

[Dirtbag59]

Starting to realize that smaller receivers are just as much a staple of Redskins culture as "The Hogs." Heck at this rate Pierre Garcon at 6'0 might be considered a giant by Redskin standards. The great Art Monk of course not withstanding.

It's also kind of funny that this is the second time we've gotten a mulligan on a smallish receiver we passed over on on draft day in favor of a 'taller' possession type. Go back to 2001 when the Redskins drafted Rod Gardner 15th overall, only to see Santana Moss go one pick later to the Jets at 16 overall.

Then of course the fabled 2008 draft where we passed over Desean twice in favor of drafting Devin Thomas at 34 and Fred Davis at 48. Desean then went one pick later to the Eagles at 49th overall.

If this isn't fate I don't know what is.

One more thing I noticed. Jets and Eagles both have green as their primary colors.
