Former NFL star DeSean Jackson is facing a lawsuit from a former Delaware State player who claims the ex-Pro Bowl wide receiver helped create a violent culture inside the HBCU football program during his first season as head coach.According to a complaint obtained by Fox News Digital, former player Malachi Biggs alleges he was attacked by ex-teammate Anthony Hebert in the team’s locker room on November 19, 2025. Biggs claims the assault knocked out at least a dozen teeth and left him unconscious.The lawsuit accuses Jackson of overseeing an unsafe locker room environment and promoting what the complaint describes as a “tough guy” philosophy tied to “gang-associated slang and gang-associated mentality.” Biggs also alleges Jackson and staff members “encouraged crimes, assaults, harassment, hazing, altercations” within the Delaware State football program.Jackson denied the allegations in a statement posted to Instagram, saying, “I have never fostered or encouraged hazing, bullying, or any violent environment, and that has never been the culture I have worked to build.” He added that he takes “the safety, well-being, and development of every student-athlete” seriously, but said he would not comment further because of the pending litigation.The law firm Morgan & Morgan – on behalf of a DSU football player – filed the lawsuit against Jackson and the university, alleging a lack of proper supervision and team leadership that “permitted violent behaviors.” According to the firm, those behaviors led to their client being attacked by another player, leaving him “catastrophically injured.”
