DeSean Jackson chooses watching LeBron over Redskins OTABy John Breech | CBSSports.comMay 27, 2015 8:37 pm ET DeSean Jackson decided to hang with LeBron instead of attending OTAs. (Instagram) With Washington coming off of a 4-12 season, Redskins coach Jay Gruden probably would've liked it if everyone on the team's roster had shown up for the first day of OTAs on Tuesday.Unforunately for Gruden though, that didn't happen because DeSean Jackson decided to skip out on OTAs to attend Game 4 of the NBA's Eastern Conference Finals in Cleveland.Although Jackson's absence from OTAs was excused, Gruden probably still wasn't thrilled. The Redskins wide receiver was the only player on the roster who could've been at OTAs, but chose not to go.Trent Williams and Jordan Reed also missed the team's first workout on Tuesday, but Williams was stuck in Houston and Reed was getting his knee examined. On the other hand, you can't really blame Jackson for missing OTAs because if he had gone, his FRONT ROW TICKET to Cleveland's 118-88 win over Atlanta would have gone to waste.Jackson clearly has NBA connections.
Judging by his Instagram page, Jackson clearly had way more fun at the game than he would've had at practice. Besides scoring front row seats, Jackson also got his picture taken with LeBron James. After Cleveland's 30-point win, Jackson probably could've made it back to DC for the Redskins' Wednesday and Thursday OTAs this week, but it doesn't look like that's in the plans either.
According to ESPN.com, Jackson is expected to be back in Washington for the Redskins next round of OTAs that run June 2-4. If Jackson doesn't show up for those, because say, Kyrie Irving hooks him up with NBA Finals tickets, then Washington might have a problem.
