Jayden Daniels and JuJu Watkins spark possible romance rumors... but NFL star's mom won't be happy

The Washington Commanders’ leading man might have is leading lady, as Jayden Daniels and USC basketball star JuJu Watkins have sparked possible romance rumors. 

The quarterback and Trojans’ leader were spotted together after USC’s victory over UNC Greensboro in Los Angeles. 

Daniels was already in the crowd for Mississippi State versus Cal, to determine who faces the Trojans on Monday for a spot in the Sweet 16. 

Watkins came through the Glenn Center crowd to sit next to the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. 

Spotted sitting in between Watkins and Daniels later in the evening was Daniels’ mother, Regina Jackson, who has been protective of her son in the public eye.  

Jackson has previously admitted Daniels is single solely to focus on football, with him leading Washington to the NFC Championship Game against eventual-Super Bowl winners, the Philadelphia Eagles.

Jackson is not surprised by her son’s ability to be a game-changer, with her only true concern being ‘girls’ impeding his path to greatness. 

‘Girls… them girls. Some girl out here, she’s got a Jayden Daniels wall and her mama says, “Hey honey, you’re going to the be the one to get him,”‘ Jackson said on Prime Video’s ‘The Money Game’. 

‘And I know that sounds crazy, but I guarantee there’s someone who’s trying to get their hooks into Jayden Daniels. So thank god he got a mama like me because it ain’t happening.’

As for Daniels, he did not seem too concerned with his mother’s remarks. 

‘I bet she did say something like that,’ the 2023 Heisman Trophy winner said.  

Both Daniels and Watkins are from Southern California, despite the five-year age gap between the two.
