DeSean Jackson is flying with the Philadelphia Eagles once again. And now that he's back, the veteran wide receiver has no plans to play elsewhere before his career is finished. During his introductory press conference at team headquarters on Thursday, Jackson stressed a desire to finish his NFL playing days where they began in the first place.

The 11-year veteran was acquired by the Eagles earlier this week in a trade with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Philadelphia sent a sixth-round pick to Tampa Bay, while the Buccaneers included a seventh-round selection with Jackson. He subsequently signed a three-year, $27 million deal with the Eagles, a boon for an aging player whose existing contract was set to expire after this season.

Not that Jackson doesn't have any juice left in the tank, of course, as he insisted on Thursday.

“I'm 32 but I can run like I'm 26,” he said, per Reuben Frank of NBC Sports Philadelphia.

The University of California product underperformed the three-year, $33.5 million contract he signed with Tampa Bay in March of 2017. Though he led the NFL in yards per catch last season for the fourth time in his career, he caught just 41 passes for 774 yards and four touchdowns.

Jackson first rose to stardom at the top of the decade with the Eagles, making the Pro Bowl as a returner in 2009 and 2010 before going back as a receiver three years later. He teams with Alshon Jeffery, Nelson Agholor, and tight end Zach Ertz to give Philadelphia one of the league's most dangerous crops of receivers.
