Jayden Daniels Sends Cease-And-Desist to LSU Over No. 5 Jersey

Former LSU quarterback and Washington Commanders signal Jayden Daniels sent a cease-and-desist letter to Louisiana State University demanding the school stop using his name, image and likeness after it assigned his former No.  5 jersey to sophomore cornerback D. J. Pickett, a move that drew criticism from media commentators. Daniels' representatives said the action was intended to protect his NIL rights. LSU reissued the No.

 5 jersey to Pickett, who said he would keep wearing it despite Daniels' objections. Daniels' attorney later asked the university to cease using his likeness, while LSU refused to return a replica of Daniels' 2023 Heisman Trophy. Former LSU quarterback Joe Burrow noted the school has not permanently retired his own No.  9 jersey and offered no further comment on the No.  5 dispute. The reissue sparked widespread online ridicule of Daniels.
