Jayden Daniels criticizes LSU for not retiring his no. 5 jersey

Jayden Daniels has expressed frustration towards LSU for allowing another player to wear his former no. 5 jersey. Daniels, a former Heisman Trophy winner, feels that his contributions to the Tigers warrant the retirement of his number. His legal team has issued a cease and desist letter to the program, arguing that the jersey's use undermines his legacy. Sophomore cornerback DJ Pickett is set to wear the number during the upcoming college football season, but LSU has historically been reluctant to retire jerseys. Comparisons are being drawn to Joe Burrow, whose no. 9 jersey remains retired since he entered the NFL.
