Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson says that head coach Chip Kelly is showing no favouritism to those who were previously starters for the team.

DeSean Jackson has said that new head coach Chip Kelly is making every player earn his place on the Philadelphia Eagles' roster.

The two-time Pro Bowl wide receiver has been moved up and down the depth chart during off-season practices, while Kelly continues to learn about his new team.

The 26-year-old told The Rich Eisen Podcast: "You know, throughout the whole off-season, I understand what [Kelly] was doing as far as him coming in, and he's not [showing] favoritism on any players, he doesn't care who's been the guy, who's been the starters.

"Like I said, at the end of the day, you got to go earn your spot. He's not giving it to anybody, and if you're not going out there, you know, working hard and putting in time on the field, he doesn't really care, he's going to treat everyone the same way, and he's going to make people earn it.

"So, right now, with the quarterback position, they've been battling. Honestly, I think they've been going at it pretty tough. So, right now, we don't know who the starter is."

Jackson recorded his lowest receiving yards total last season, making 700 yards and scoring two touchdowns.
