The Rams announced Sunday that they had agreed to terms with veteran wide receiver DeSean Jackson, providing coach Sean McVay and the offense with a potential deep threat that was sorely lacking in 2020. Over the next three seasons in Washington with McVay, he caught 14 touchdown passes. In 2014, he caught 56 passes and averaged 20.9 yards per reception. In 2016, he caught 56 passes and averaged 17.9 yards per catch. Last season, the Rams’ longest touchdown pass play covered 56 yards, and McVay rarely gave former quarterback Jared Goff the opportunity to throw deep routes.
