After five seasons, hundreds of completed passes and thousands of yards gained together, DeSean Jackson and Michael Vick have countless memories of one another.
But one seems to stick out in the 27-year-old Jackson's mind more than any other.
"When a certain situation comes around, ain't nobody gonna take your back," Jackson told the Washington Post of what he nost remembers learning from the veteran quarterback. "They all gonna rat you out"

The 33-year-old Vick spent nearly two years in prison after pleading guilty to bankrolling a vicious, cross-state dog fighting ring in his hometown of Virginia. A year after being sentenced in 2007, the former Virginia Tech star was forced into filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Vick returned to the NFL in 2009 by joining the Eagles.
The Eagles released Jackson this offseason after he was rumored to have remaining ties to several gang members he grew up with in California.The Pro Bowl receiver has since signed a multi-year deal to join Robert Griffin III and the Washington Redskins.
Vick, meanwhile, recently signed a deal with the Jets, where he is expected to compete with second-year quarterback Geno Smith for the team's starting position. An 11-year veteran, Vick passed for 1,215 yards and five touchdowns for the Eagles last season. Vick also threw for at least 3,000 yards and 18 touchdowns in back-to-back seasons commencing in 2010.
The bombastic Jackson's best season came last year when he snared 82 catches, good for 1,332 yards and nine touchdowns.
