Former Philadelphia Eagles stars, DeSean Jackson and Michael Vick, are set to face off as head coaches in a college football matchup between the Delaware State Hornets and the Norfolk State Spartans this fall. Jackson, 38, was named head coach of Delaware State, while Vick, 44, took on the role at Norfolk State. The two will meet on the sidelines on November 1 in a Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference battle.
Jackson, known for his explosive plays as a wide receiver, played for the Eagles for five seasons, racking up over 6,500 yards and 35 touchdowns. Vick, a dynamic quarterback, also had a successful tenure with the Eagles, earning 9,984 yards and 57 touchdowns in five seasons.
The upcoming game will mark a reunion for Jackson and Vick, who teamed up for a memorable 88-yard touchdown play in 2010. Both players have transitioned into coaching roles and will now pass on their knowledge and experience to young athletes on the college level.
While Norfolk State currently leads the all-time series against Delaware State, with a recent win of 38-19, fans are eagerly anticipating the showdown between these former Eagles teammates turned coaches. This matchup serves as a reminder of the lasting impact that players can have on the game of football, both on and off the field.
