Malik Jackson is not accepting the apology of Saints quarterback Drew Brees. 

Jackson, who joined 6ABC′s Jeff Skversky on Saturday, reacted to Brees' comments about kneeling during the National Anthem and the apology that followed. 
“I lost a lot of respect for Drew Brees,” Jackson said via NJ.com. “He’s a great player but (his comments) were very insensitive about the times and where he stands.

"Because you’re still not understanding where we’re coming from after three years of trying to talk about this and get notoriety. You’re still talking about kneeling for a flag.”

The Eagles' 30-year-old defensive tackle also noted that he can't wait to play against Brees. 

“Definitely excited to play him this year,” Jackson said. “I’m going to have a lot to say. Hopefully, I don’t get too wild with it, but I don’t understand how you could say that when you have people blocking for you who are black, catching balls from you who are black, and people that are running the ball for you who are black.”

The Eagles will host Brees and the Saints at the Linc on December 13th, 2020.
