The Washington Commanders selected Jayden Daniels with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, and he has gone on to have an historic rookie season, leading the team to a NFC championship berth.

Daniels' success on-the-field, may be due in large part to his mom/agent, Regina Jackson, as she is the reason the 24-year-old doesn't have any "girl problems."
While appearing on the new Amazon Prime docuseries: 'The Money Game,' Jackson was asked what concerns her the most about all that comes with Jayden's newfound fame and fortune, and she responded... "girls."
"Some girl's got a Jayden Daniels wall, and her mom says, 'You're gonna be the one who's gonna go get 'em,' and I know that sounds crazy, but I guarantee there's someone out there who is trying to get their hooks into Jayden Daniels."
She concluded, "Thank God he's got a mama like me—because it ain't happening."
Jayden Daniels’ mother, Regina Jackson, says that her son will remain single.

The 'no girl policy' certainly has worked for the young star Heisman-winning QB out of LSU, who surpassed all expectations in his first NFL season.
En route to leading the Commanders to a 12-5 record, Daniels threw for 3,568 pass yards, 25 touchdowns/9 interceptions, while also running for 891 yards to go with six rushing TD's.

In the Wild Card playoff win vs. the Tampa Buccaneers (23-20), Daniels passed for 268 yards and two touchdowns (+36 rush yards). Then in the Divisional Round upset win over the Detroit Lions (45-31), Daniels had 299 yards through the air and a pair of passing TD's (+51 rush yards).
This made him the first NFL rookie all-time with 300+ total yards in two postseason games. And he is still not finished, as Daniels and the Commanders are now one game away from the Super Bowl.
Washington is set to face off with their NFC East rival Philadelphia Eagles in the conference championship on Sunday, January 26 at 3:00 pm ET.
