Jayden Daniels’ rise has been fast and impressive. The 2023 Heisman winner at LSU and No. 2 pick in 2024 led the Washington Commanders to the NFC title game in his rookie season. He has established himself as one of the league’s brightest young stars.
Despite the amount of attention the quarterback is receiving, his mom, Regina Jackson, has been there to guide him. She also serves as his business manager.
Jackson made it clear on Saturday that Daniels does not have a Facebook account. She urged fans to ignore any profile on the platform pretending to be him.
"Please share. Jayden Daniels isn't on Facebook, and our Foundation wouldn't ask for money off Facebook, etc. Please don't be scammed. Be cautious 🙏🏽🙏🏽 #RaiseHail," Jackson tweeted.

Jackson has always been vocal about shielding her son from people who don’t have his best interests in mind.
Daniels burst onto the scene last year, throwing for 3,568 yards and 25 touchdowns. He also set a quarterback rookie rushing record with 891 yards.
However, this season has been tough, as the Commanders (3-9) have lost seven straight. Daniels has also been hampered by injuries, limiting him to just six starts. He has completed 62.5% of his passes for 1,184 yards, eight touchdowns and two interceptions, while adding 262 rushing yards and two scores.
