DeSean & Byron Jackson: The Family Story Behind 'Go Deep' | NFL, Pressure & Legacy

About this episode

NFL great DeSean Jackson and his older brother Byron Jackson join host Richard Taite to share the powerful family story behind the new Prime Video documentary "Go Deep: The DeSean Jackson Story." From growing up under the enormous expectations of their father, Bill Jackson, to DeSean's 15-season NFL career and his new chapter as head football coach at Delaware State, the brothers open up about ambition, pressure, family, loss and finding purpose beyond football. Byron explains why he spent decades filming his younger brother, the painful family moments he struggled to include in the documentary, and why he put the footage in a director's hands. DeSean joins from Delaware State to reflect on the Heisman hopes that slipped away, the lessons he's carrying into coaching, and why he's creating a space where his players feel comfortable asking for help. Richard also shares his own story about his father, and his message that no matter how the first three quarters went, you still get a fourth.
