DeSean Jackson and Father's Day

I'm a little late, but Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there.

NFL Network ran a piece on DeSean Jackson and his father, Bill, who died of cancer in May.

Thanks to whoever put the video on YouTube. You can watch it below.

Great story. Every child should have the kind of relationship that DeSean had with his father. So sad to have it end at an early age.

djack has the heart of a champion. did you notice the scene of his dad shaking hands with the ABC reporter, Mr. Gary Papa. Cancer is brutal. God bless them both and their families.
