DeSean Jackson spoke about a report from last week alleging his involvement in gang activity.

"I actually got a chance to hear about [the NJ.com report] before it came out," Jackson said. "Got a call before it came out. My agent called. How do I feel about NJ.com? From my point of view, it was very disrespectful. I don't think it was right -- straight up."

According to the NJ.com story, Jackson was associated with Theron Shakir, one of two men charged with the murder of a 14-year-old.

Jackson said he had no connection to the incident because he was playing football in 2009, when the killing occurred.

Asked if he hangs out with gang members, Jackson said, "Not if they're doing negative things." He added that gangs were products of the environment in which he grew up and that he witnessed "things" on a daily basis.

"Do I know people who are involved? Yes," he said. "I'm definitely aware of and know certain gang members.

"But as far as being affiliated, never have been in one. I've always felt I've been a product of my environment, but I've always felt I've wanted to do things the right way."
