DeSean Jackson Moonlights At Modell's

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - Some last minute Christmas shoppers at a New Jersey sporting goods store got quite a surprise Christmas Eve. Their sales person was none other than Eagles star receiver DeSean Jackson, undercover.

Jackson's dressed as a Modell's employee and of course, he's pushing his own Eagles jersey, "Hey that number 10 jersey's pretty hot, what do you think? (Yeah it's real hot) There you go that's the best one."

In the hidden video posted by Modell's, the undercover receiver talks about that great return last Sunday:

"That punt return looked like a video game. I was sitting there looking at it, I was actually on lunch break in the back watching it, I'm like, 'that's just ridiculous.' Why did they even punt to him?"

And of course, some fans get wise to Jackson's clever ruse:

"I get that a lot. No, it's not; you're going to get me fired. I'm trying to tell you that's not me."

Earlier this month, the Patriot's Danny Woodhead pulled the same stunt at a Modell's in New England.
