Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels and his mother, Regina Jackson, are trending on social media following their appearance in a clip of the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year taking his mom out shopping.
Daniels had a sensational first season in the league after being drafted No. 2 overall by the Commanders last year, making it to the Pro Bowl as a rookie and taking Washington as far as the NFC Championship Game, their first appearance since 1991.
Unfortunately, he’s been going viral on account of his closeness with his mother, and not in a good way.
The two popped up in a new video showing them going out shopping together, with the QB said to have taken Regina out to splash the cash on her.
Check it out below:
“Surprising her but cameras everywhere lol,” someone observed.
“Alright, this is strange,” said a second.
“She wanna be his girlfriend so bad,” someone else claimed.
And there was this GIF…
“Poor kid will never have a true relationship with another woman,” a fan declared.
“Everyone in the comments weird asf yall wouldn’t do this for yall mom if yall could??” a user asked.
Jayden Daniels and Regina Jackson have quickly become one of the most discussed duos in the NFL.
Regina made history as the first parent to serve as a certified agent for a top-three pick when her son was taken at No. 2 overall. He’s hardly seen without her as she has been a constant presence at games, interviews, and red carpets.
But she’s also been seen playing a third wheel on dates, sparking claims of overprotectiveness and having a “mom radar.”
Jayden doesn’t seem to have a problem with his mom’s presence in his day-to-day, but fans feel it could become an issue once he decides he wants to be in a serious relationship.
