Aug. 13 (UPI) -- Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels wants LSU to stop using his name, image and likeness after the Tigers gave his former jersey number to another player.
Attorney Adam Kenner wrote a cease and desist letter, on behalf of Daniels, to LSU football and athletic director Verge Ausberry on Aug. 5. Kenner said Daniels' contract with LSU allowed the school to use his name, image and likeness for 180 days after his last collegiate contest.
LSU did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the matter.
Daniels played at Arizona State from 2019 to 2021. He played for the Tigers in the No. 5 jersey in 2022 and 2023, when he won the Heisman Trophy.
