Jayden Daniels is one of the select few rookie QBs to play in a Championship game. To get to that, he has resorted to staying grounded and focusing on the task at hand. Now he is gearing up to help his Washington Commanders win the NFC Championship game.

However, for any athlete, distractions are easy to come by. For some, it may be splurging on expensive purchases. Then, to manage those finances, they look for the next big contract and forget about playing themselves in the Hall of Fame. For that reason, Jayden Daniels‘ mother Regina Jackson has become a certified agent.

She is helping her son become a brand in a way that is different from the average star football player. In order to do that, she knows that her superstar son will also find himself in the face of other distractions. Daniels’ mother knows she has to protect him from girls who want to get their hands on the next millionaire athlete. With that in mind, she said this on Amazon’s docuseries The Money Game.

Some girl out here, she’s got a Jayden Daniels wall, and her mama said, ‘Hey honey, you’re gonna be the one to get ‘em’. And I know that sounds crazy, but I guarantee there’s someone out there who’s trying to get their hooks into Jayden Daniels. So, thank God he got a mama like me because it ain’t happening.

Regina Jackson said

She has seen how many athletes, particularly Black American ones, making millions of dollars become targets of gold diggers. Many end up having to pay enormous child support payments, ending up bankrupt. She does not want her son to end up like that.

Jayden Daniels can become the first rookie QB to reach Super Bowl

The Washington Commanders will take on a Philadelphia Eagles team that is stacked with talent in every position. Knowing that, football fans know the possibility of the Eagles’ defense running ragged and winning the NFC Championship game is high.

But Jayden Daniels is known for his poised and unfazed approach. He kept that poise when playing in the Wild Card as well as the Divisional round. In both instances, he faced some of the toughest defenses in the league.

But he knows Jalen Carter and his teammates are a different bunch. The last time they met, Daniels ended up victorious after his game-winning TD. But he also knows that in their game prior to that, Carter and teammates sacked him thrice to end up winning.

However, that last win could give the rookie QB some confidence heading into the game. If he does manage to execute a win, he will waltz into the Super Bowl as the only rookie quarterback to ever do so. It will be another one of those accomplishments that will shape his legacy.
