<p>Now retired from the NFL, former Philadelphia Eagles player <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/desean-jackson">DeSean Jackson</a></strong> will make his debut as a head coach in the <strong>NCAAF</strong>, representing the colors of <strong>Delaware State Hornets</strong>. Although the official announcement is still a few days away, the only certainty at this point is that he has already secured the commitment of the son of a former NFL star.</p>


        


<p>For 15 consecutive seasons, Antonio Gates Sr. proudly wore the jersey of the San Diego Chargers, which later became the Los Angeles Chargers. His outstanding performances earned him eight Pro Bowl selections, and now it is his son, Antonio Gates Jr., who aims to follow in his father’s footsteps, albeit in College Football.</p>



<p>Coming from the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/michigan-state">Michigan State Spartans</a>, <strong>the talented wide receiver joins Jackson’s Hornets</strong> to further strengthen an offense that aims to be one of the best in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC).</p>



<p>The news was confirmed by Antonio Gates Jr. himself through his official Instagram account (<em>@antoniogatesjr</em>), along with a unique phrase to announce his arrival at Delaware State: <strong><em>“I had to kick the door Fr.”</em></strong></p>

<p><strong>Antonio Gates Jr. was ranked as one of the nation’s top wide receiver prospects</strong> by <em>ESPN, 247Sports, and On3.</em> He is definitely a great addition to the Hornets’ offense.</p>

<h2>Gates Jr. joins another star at Delaware State</h2>



<p>Antonio Gates Jr.’s arrival to the Hornets is not the only addition to the team’s offense under DeSean Jackson. Previously, one of the league’s top RBs, Kobe Boykin, confirmed his commitment to the program through a post on his official X account.</p>


        


<p><strong><em>“@DeSeanJackson10 #Jaccera long ways from 6th ave ! Let’s do it !!! #Blessed,” </em></strong>Boykin stated via <em>@kobe_4thawin.</em> The talented running back arrives to Delaware State with four years of eligibility left.</p>



<h2>Jackson begins a new role in his career</h2>



<p>The extraordinary career of the wide receiver in the NFL has come to an end, and now it’s time to enjoy the game from the sideline. DeSean Jackson will make his debut as a head coach this season in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/college-football">NCAAF</a>, following his stint as the offensive coordinator at Woodrow Wilson High School.</p>



<p>Although his arrival at the Hornets was confirmed on December 26, his official presentation is scheduled for January 8, after which he will be officially announced as the new head coach of Delaware State.</p>



<p>Jackson joins the list of former NFL players who are taking their first steps as coaches in college football. The most notable case this season is Deion Sanders, who led his Colorado Buffaloes to great heights this season.</p>

<p>Not many players can brag about having long careers in the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-aaron-rodgers-gets-real-on-his-young-wr-corps-20220915-0002.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong> National Football League</strong>.</a> <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/former-nfl-superstar-thinks-bill-belichick-is-nothing-without-tom-brady-20220914-0045.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tom Brady</a> </strong>is the <strong>exception to the rule</strong> in a league that’s<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-jerry-jones-gets-real-on-cowboys-hopes-without-dak-prescott-20220914-0052.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">physically and mentally challenging</a>,</strong> not to mention quite ruthless.</p>
<p>You can be an offense’s focal point one day and be completely out of the league by next season. That’s just <strong>how fast things move in the NFL,</strong> and being a former All-Pro or perennial Pro-Bowler won’t grant you anything.</p>
<p>That’s why so many players remain unsigned, hanging onto the hope of getting another shot. Today, we’re going to talk about three of them, letting you know about <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-chris-olave-and-the-best-rookie-wrs-in-2022-20220729-0013.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">three WRs</a> who should get another shot.</strong></p>
<h2>NFL News: 3 Veteran Wideouts Who Could Get Another Shot</h2>
<h3>3. Will Fuller</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220918_BUS_200342_will_fuller.jpg_22993414_7d896ba3.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Will Fuller – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Will Fuller</strong> has struggled to stay healthy throughout his career, and it’s been a while since he was impactful. However, he’s just 28 years old and was one of the fastest players in the league just a couple of years ago.</p>
<p>Fuller should get another shot on a team that’s lacking a <strong>deep-play specialist</strong> or a big-play threat. He’d be a nice pickup at a reasonable price, and he could still have a couple of solid years left in the tank.</p>
<h3>2. TY Hilton</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220918_BUS_200342_ty_hilton_x1x.jpg_22993414_efba190c.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    TY Hilton – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The<strong> Indianapolis Colts</strong> recently honored<strong> TY Hilton </strong>at Lucas Oil Stadium, so that might as well be the end of the line for him there. But he hasn’t formally announced his retirement, so who’s to say he can’t come back?</p>
<p>For years, Hilton was one of the most underrated and versatile wideouts in the league. He could line up in the slot or out wide and was a solid route-runner. He just needs to prove that <strong>he’s healthy enough </strong>to be back on the field.</p>
<h3>1. DeSean Jackson</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220918_BUS_200342_desean_jackson.jpg_22993414_9a80fdd0.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    DeSean Jackson – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>DeSean Jackson</strong> claimed to be satisfied with his career if he never played againand stated that he’d only play for an elite quarterback. <strong>Aaron Rodgers </strong>happens to need a deep-ball threat, so there’s that.</p>
<p>Jackson never missed a step. He’s the ultimate <strong>boom-or-bust </strong>receiverand a guy who can pile up yardage at an absurd rate. That’s the kind of skill set that could come in handy for multiple contenders.</p>

And as exciting as that could be, it seems like <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-news-aaron-rodgers-expresses-concerns-over-packers-young-receivers-20220816-0022.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Aaron Rodgers</strong></a> hasn’t liked what he’s seen thus far.</p>
<p><em><strong>“The young guys, especially young receivers, we’ve got to be way more consistent,” </strong></em>Rodgers said, per ESPN.<strong> </strong><em><strong>“A lot of drops, a lot of bad route decisions, running the wrong route. We’ve got to get better in that area. You keep dropping the ball, you’re not going to be out there.</strong> It’s going to be the most reliable guys that are out there. The preparation and the job responsibility is most important. There’s going to be physical mistakes, like we’ve talked about, but if you’re going out there and dropping the ball and somebody else behind you is in the right spot all the time and catching the ball, that guy’s going to play.”</em></p>
<p>Yikes, that’s some tough love for your QB. So, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/nfl-rumors-jordan-love-breaks-silence-on-aaron-rodgers-contract-extension-20220525-0023.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Rodgers is clearly not satisfied</strong></a> with the effort, and the season is just around the corner. With that in mind, let’s take a look at <strong>three veteran wideouts</strong>they should consider calling.</p>
<h2>NFL News: 3 WRs Packers Should Consider Signing</h2>
<h3>3. Odell Beckham Jr.</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220817_BUS_197944_odell_beckham_jr_1.jpg_22993414_feae60d4.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Odell Beckham Jr. – Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Odell Beckham Jr. </strong>nearly joined them last season before winning the Super Bowl with the <strong>Los Angeles Rams</strong>. He’ll miss the first third of the season and has struggled with major injuries, which is why some teams have been hesitant about making a run at him.</p>
<p>But it’s not like the Packers have anyone better on their roster. If anything, taking a risk on a guy like OBJ would be the ultimate<strong> low-risk/high-reward </strong>move. You only need him to be healthy for the playoffs.</p>
<h3>2. DeSean Jackson</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220817_BUS_197944_desean_jackson.jpg_22993414_33f73e7a.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    DeSean Jackson- Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>DeSean Jackson</strong> was reportedly on the fence about retiring, but he claimed that he could run it back for another season if the right situation came on knocking. He even named <strong>Aaron Rodgers</strong> as one of the QBs he’d love to play with.</p>
<p>The Packers lack a deep-ball threat with <strong>Marquez Valdes-Scantling</strong> leaving for the<strong> Kansas City Chiefs</strong>. Jackson is one of the most explosive WRs of all time,and he hasn’t missed a step, even despite his age.</p>
<h3>1. Cole Beasley</h3>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20220817_BUS_197944_cole_beasley.jpg_22993414_7ad04698.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Cole Beasley- Getty Images   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The Packers are likely to feature <strong>Sammy Watkins </strong>as their slot receiver this season. But if history has taught us anything, it’s that you can’t trust Watkins to stay healthy or productive for a full season.</p>
<p>They need a workhorse like<strong> Cole Beasley,</strong> an every-down kind of player with reliable hands that will put his body on the line on every single snap. Also, you just know he’d hit it off with Rodgers right away, as they seem to have similar views on controversial matters.</p>
