New York Mets mock Jayden Daniels amid LSU jersey controversy

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels is facing backlash for attempting to protect the legacy of his No. 5 jersey at LSU. The controversy escalated when it was reported that Daniels told his attorney to stop LSU from using his name and likeness after the school awarded the jersey to D.J. Pickett. In response, the New York Mets made a humorous post referencing the situation following their 4-1 victory over the Washington Nationals. Daniels contends the issue is not solely about the jersey but about respect and how LSU handled the situation. His camp also reportedly wants the return of his Heisman Trophy copy, a request LSU intends to deny.
