DeSean Jackson Is That Dude: DeSean (Eagles) Surprises Bullied Teen, Who Was Hung Up On A Fence, On The View!
"The 13-year-old boy who was bullied and beat up
by a "wolf pack" of teenagers in Pennsylvania last
month received a surprise visit from his favorite
football player on live television.
Nadin Khoury was walking home from school on Jan.
11 when he was randomly accosted by seven teens
who attacked him for 30 minutes. The incident was
filmed by one of the assailants, which helped
propel the sickening incident into the national
spotlight.
On Thursday, a resilient Khoury appeared with his
family on "The View" to discuss the incident and
bullying in general. Near the end of the segment,
he was surprised by Philadelphia Eagles players
DeSean Jackson(notes), Todd Herremans and Jamaal
Jackson(notes).
Jackson, the Eagles star receiver, is Khoury's
favorite player. After coming out on set and
hugging the middle school student, Jackson gave
Khoury the jersey off his back (literally) and let
him know that if he ever needed help, he and his
two lineman had his back. Herremans later
mentioned that the Eagles would give the family
tickets to any Eagles game next season."
