Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels has been in the news over the past week. When you're a franchise quarterback in the NFL, that's not new. And Daniels has had a terrific start to training camp, including a flawless performance in Wednesday's joint practice with the Miami Dolphins.
But on Wednesday night, ESPN broke a story about Daniels sending a cease-and-desist letter to LSU, his alma mater, over his name, image and likeness (NIL). While some things remain unclear about what exactly transpired between Daniels and LSU, it seemingly began when the Tigers reissued the No. 5 jersey to sophomore cornerback DJ Pickett.
For his part, Daniels released a statement acknowledging a disagreement between the two sides, but said he was focused on the Commanders and that he hoped they would resolve the situation soon.
The story should have died, right? Not exactly, as the social media teams for various professional teams, specifically in Major League Baseball, have had some fun at Daniels' expense.
The Philadelphia Phillies also joined in on the fun.
