Mets Roast Jayden Daniels with Amazing Social Media Post

The Mets posted a viral jab after Daniels’ legal fight with LSU over his name, image and likeness rights drew widespread online mockery.

  • On Friday, the New York Mets mocked Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels after their 4-1 victory over the Washington Nationals by joking they stopped scoring at four runs out of respect for him.
  • A cease-and-desist letter was sent by Daniels to LSU, with his spokesperson calling the decision to give his No. 5 jersey to cornerback DJ Pickett 'disrespectful'.
  • Defending the assignment, Tigers Head Coach Lane Kiffin stated, 'It was promised to the kid,' while Pickett's father, Damien Pickett, said the controversy makes them want to wear the number more.
  • Criticism has mounted online since Thursday, and the Mets' post poking fun at the dispute quickly went viral following the team's Friday win.
  • LSU continues to stand by the decision, and Daniels remains focused on the Commanders' training camp, with the program not changing the jersey assignment for the upcoming season.
