Jayden Daniels faces criticism over jersey dispute with LSU

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels is facing public pushback after sending a cease-and-desist letter to LSU. The legal notice requested that the university stop allowing sophomore cornerback DJ Pickett to wear jersey No. 5, which Daniels wore during his tenure in Baton Rouge. Former LSU player Patrick Peterson publicly criticized the move as childish and poorly timed given Daniels’ professional responsibilities. LSU head coach Lane Kiffin stated that the number was promised to Pickett during his recruitment and remained unchanged. During a recent game against Clemson, LSU opted to exclude Daniels from a video montage of former stars while Pickett continued to wear the number.
