Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels sent LSU a cease-and-desist after the school reissued his No. 5 jersey to cornerback DJ Pickett. Daniels told LSU it can no longer use his name, image, or likeness and the Daniels family said they are "deeply disappointed" and feel "profoundly disrespected" by the decision, ESPN reported. NBC Sports described Daniels and LSU as at odds over the issuance of No. 5 to Pickett. LSU has reissued the number despite Daniels's objection, and Pickett has not returned the jersey, according to reporting. The cease-and-desist instructs LSU to stop using Daniels's NIL and his No. 5 association going forward.
