Jackson's RG3 speech helps fill Redskins void
2014-11-10 13:32
ASHBURN, Va. (AP) - It has taken DeSean Jackson, of all people, to provide a Washington Redskins leadership moment.
Last week, before the team broke for the bye, the veteran receiver sensed possible team division over the decision to bring Robert Griffin III back as the starter over Colt McCoy.
So Jackson stood up at the end of a full team meeting in the Redskins Park main auditorium and said everyone needs to unite behind the coaches' decision.
Players said they were surprised because Jackson is typically a quiet guy who leads by example. They say his short speech had an impact.
Jackson said Monday he wishes there were more vocal leaders in the locker room.
