Just about everywhere I look, I see someone comparing DeSean Jackson to Jacquez Green and saying that Jackson is destined to be the same kind of bust that Green was. So, I thought I'd compare them for myself.

Ok, so I guess if you're into "measurables" and "facts", they're pretty similar. Green had a college career average of over 19 yards per catch, while Jackson had significantly more catches but only 15 yards per catch ("only" being a relative term since that's still an impressive average.) And you're right. Normally he's not the kind of guy I would like. I can't put my finger on why I think he'll be better in the NFL than Green was. I've seen him play several times and he was always dangerous. Even if he didn't make the play, he created a big enough distraction for someone else to make it. I don't think he'll ever be Steve Smith, but I think he can make a threatening #2 or #3 and take some heat off of Joey Galloway.
