The blockbuster matchup between Michael Vick's Norfolk State and DeSean Jackson's Delaware State just received a huge update from Jackson at the Hornet's Spring Game. Earlier this year, Jackson expressed interest in the game being played at Lincoln Memorial Field, home of the Philadelphia Eagles.

What some assumed to be a passing mention in a podcast interview now appears closer to reality, per Jackson's latest comments from Saturday's media availability at Delaware State's Spring Scrimmage.

“ I don't know if I can release that information, but we're trying any and everything we can to get that game at Lincoln Stadium Financial Stadium. [Dom DiSandro] was here, man, and he's trying to work some things behind closed doors for us to get that game in there. So it's, it's a possibility for sure.”

Dom DiSandro is the senior advisor to the general manager, director of gameday coaching operations and chief security officer for the Philadelphia Eagles. He seems to be the right person to speak to for Jackson's vision of the game being hosted at “The Linc” to come true.
