Wide Receiver- DeSean Jackson

After throwing what is my opinion of temper tantrum, DeSean Jackson makes the list at number four.

Are all wide receivers Divas? No. Is Jackson one? Yes. Is that bad? No.

Jackson, like the veteran he is, signed with the Bucs to catch passes and win games. So far… he has done both, but not at the level he wants.

It is visible that Jackson and Winston are just not in-sync like many fans have hoped they would be. The deep-ball threat has yet to be successful in any of the three games the Bucs have played, and that has made Jackson significantly upset.

Whether it may be pass thrown behind him or an overthrown ball, Jackson has let his emotions take control. Not only can the team see it, but also any fan watching on national television can too.

Head Coach Dirk Koetter has stood up for Jackson, explaining that he understands the frustration… but will that change Thursday?

If there is anytime to trust Jackson… it is this week.
