Ex-ESPN host Trey Wingo had some harsh words for Jayden Daniels’ mom on Monday as she was spotted at Commanders training camp.
Daniels’ mother, Regina Jackson, is the pᴀsser’s agent and business manager and is known to be protective of the former Heisman Trophy winner, as she previously indicated she didn’t want her son to date.
And after she briefly joined NFL Network’s interview of her son from training camp, Wingo had a strong message for Daniels’ mother.
‘She needs a hobby,’ Wingo wrote on X.
Regina, who wore a t-shirt with her son’s name on it, said she had not attended every day of training camp as Daniels described their relationship.
‘She’s always gon’ be there to uplift me, but if I’m doing wrong, she gon’ let me know,’ he said. ‘Even though I’m 24 years old, I’m still a grown man, but I still gotta listen to my mom at some point.’

Jackson became an NFL-certified agent last year and represents her son.
However, she previously ruffled feathers with her comments in the Prime Video documentary ‘The Money Game,’ when she discussed her fear of women ‘hooking’ her son.
‘Some girl’s got a Jayden Daniels wall, and her mom says, ‘You’ll get him.’ Someone’s trying to hook him, but thank god he’s got a mama like me – because it ain’t happening.’
She later walked back that stance on ‘The Pivot’ podcast.
‘I’m putting it on record. My son can date, he can live freely, make his own decisions,’ she said. ‘However, with the relationship we have, he does value my opinion because when my kids were little, I did a lot for them and my kids saw that.’

Jackson, though, also added that her son ‘doesn’t know the business world.’
‘He doesn’t know the predators or the vultures that could be out there. So he feels very comfortable in knowing that not only am I educated and qualified to do it, I’m also his mom.’
Off the field, Jackson is often spotted with her son at public outings, as they attended the ESPYs together last year, and a Fanatics Super Bowl party together in February.
She was even seen next to him as he danced at Brandon Aiyuk’s wedding in April.
Daniels had a stellar debut season last year as he won Offensive Rookie of the Year and led the Commanders to the NFC Championship Game.
His sophomore season will begin against the Giants on September 7.
