New York Mets mock Jayden Daniels after LSU jersey number controversy

The New York Mets recently took to social media to mock Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels following his public dispute with LSU over jersey number 5. Following LSU head coach Lane Kiffin’s decision to give the number to cornerback DJ Pickett, Daniels expressed his disappointment in a statement from his family. The Mets' post, which stated they 'stopped at 4 out of respect for Jayden Daniels,' gained significant attention online. Kiffin, while addressing the matter, reaffirmed his support for Pickett wearing the number, indicating that it was promised to him during recruitment. This incident has intensified the trolling directed at Daniels, who had previously requested LSU cease using his name and image.
