sportsAug 13, 202622381

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels sent LSU a cease-and-desist ordering the school to stop using his name, image, and likeness after LSU reissued his college No. 5 jersey to cornerback DJ Pickett. Daniels and his family said they are "deeply disappointed" and that they feel "profoundly disrespected" by the decision, and Daniels directly tied the dispute to the jersey reassignment. The school reassigned No. 5 to Pickett, prompting NBC Sports and other outlets to report the two sides are at odds. Daniels singled out LSU for differential treatment compared with how the program handled Joe Burrow, according to the statement summarized in coverage. The immediate result is LSU has been told it may no longer use Daniels's NIL while the matter remains unresolved.
