During his career, Jackson had over 600 catches for over 11,000 yards and 58 touchdowns.
In his retirement statement, Jackson stated: “Philadelphia, I’m coming home.”
“Every time I return to Lincoln Financial Field, it gives me chills,” Jackson said. “I was just out there a few weeks ago when they played the Miami Dolphins, and you can’t get that feeling anywhere else. With that in mind, I’m stepping away from the game. I don’t believe in retirement. It’s a different type of retirement, as I turn 37 on Friday.”
