BET Networks kicks off the summer season with a hot new docu-series, “DESEAN JACKSON: HOME TEAM” starring the Washington Redskins player as he navigates his life on and off the field. The show features DeSean in the NFL spotlight as the successful, hardworking professional athlete he is, while also highlighting the importance of his family’s guidance and support. And all eyes, including fans and critics, are on him as he balances the fame and fortune. The show presents Jackson’s success, and the core group of women including his loving yet stern “momager” Gayle, his hard-working sister and assistant A’Dreea, his trusted publicist, and the love of his life Kayla, that encourage him to stay on a straight path towards continued success. DeSean’s mentor and friends appear in the show as powerful influences, but with the help of his core circle, we see him overcome obstacles along the way to maintain his positive image.
In the premiere episode, DeSean and his group of motivators are introduced, showing how DeSean lives life in the “fast lane” as he takes a lead role as a Grand Marshal at the Long Beach Grand Prix. We all see the charismatic, personable side of DeSean as he happily takes pictures with ecstatic fans and enjoys a day of festivities. Viewers also get to see DeSean in a less football focused way, but in a more intimate and personal way as DeSean the devoted son, the doting brother and the loyal friend. Additionally, viewers will get a first-hand account of the role Jackson’s father played in building his character and his desire for the public to get to know the real DeSean Jackson.
“DESEAN JACKSON: HOME TEAM” is produced by Rogue Atlas Production in association with Lionsgate Television with Executive Producers Eli Frankel, Ryan Holcomb, Elise Duran. DeSean Jackson and Byron Jackson also serve as Executive Producers with co-executive producers Jay Fragus and Lawrence Bell.
