DeSean Jackson is a native of Los Angeles but has always claimed Philadelphia as his second home.
Jackson returned to the Eagles this offseason in a trade from Tampa Bay and is looking to leave his imprints on the city by hosting a free youth football camp on Saturday for hundreds of kids in North Philadelphia:

The Eagles star wide out has been in a giving mindset since the passing of his friend and fellow Los Angeles native, Nipsey Hussle. Jackson has visited inner-city schools and sent the better portion of the weekend giving back to the city he calls his “second home.”
Late Saturday night, Jackson was spotted feeding the homeless, joining in the giving spirit of teammate Malcolm Jenkins, who fed over 400 Camden families earlier this week.

DeSean says he has matured since he was let go by Eagles 5 years ago. He loves being back in Philly #Eagles
