Redskins receiver DeSean Jackson heading to reality TV show on BET; premieres in June

NEW YORK, N.Y. – Washington Redskins wide receiver DeSean Jackson is coming to reality TV.

He’ll be the focus of a BET show premiering in June called “DeSean Jackson: Home Team.”

The network says Friday that the premise of the show is that Jackson’s “life is actually run by a core group of women, including his ‘momager’ Gayle, his sister and assistant A’Dreea, his publicist Denise and his new girlfriend, Kayla.”

BET adds that this group of women is “determined to keep DeSean on the straight and narrow, which is something that he desperately needs.”

Jackson has played seven NFL seasons, the first six with the Philadelphia Eagles. He led the Redskins last season with 1,169 yards receiving and six touchdown catches.
