WR- Desean Jackson

Another newcomer makes the list… shocker.

The former Washington Redskin took his talents and wallet to the Bay area this off-season in hopes of another shot at the championship ring… along with some nice weather.

The over the top play making ability that Jackson brings to the table had teams salivating during this years free agency period, but luckily for the Bucs, he landed in Tampa.

Throughout the pre-season, the Bucs did not give many looks on how Jackson would fit into the offense and the thought is that it will be shown in this weeks contest versus the Bears.

Jackson provides the home-run ball any time he steps on the field which gives defensive coordinators headaches. No longer will opposing teams be able to double or even triple Mike Evan in coverage with Jackson lining up on the other side of the ball.

Jameis Winston has a buffet of options to work with on the offensive side of the ball, one has to imagine that he will be able to show off his arm a few times to Jackson throughout Sunday’s game.
