Last week, Eagles receiver DeSean Jackson and two teammates, Jamaal Jackson and Todd Herremans, made a surprise visit to The View, where 13-year-old Nadin Khoury was telling his story of being viciously bullied by other kids at his school.

If you haven’t seen it, you need to see it.

And then you need to see Jackson’s first visit to PFT Live, during which he talked about the experience. He said that he remains in touch with Khoury, and that Jackson plans to start a foundation aimed at addressing the problem of youth bullying.

It’s a great story, and it’s a great step for Jackson as he enters the prime of a very promising NFL career.
