Personal life
[edit]Daniels was born to Javon "Jay" Daniels, a college football cornerback in the late 1990s for the Washington Huskies and Iowa State Cyclones, and Regina Jackson.[3][55] He has an older sister named Bianca.[55] His paternal grandparents died from COVID-19 in early 2021.[3] In April 2024, Regina was found to have violated NCAA guidelines by booking flights for recruits to visit Arizona State during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.[56] He is a Christian.[57] Daniels grew up a fan of quarterbacks Donovan McNabb and Michael Vick, choosing 5 as his uniform number after the former.[58] His favorite meal to prepare is pasta such as spaghetti, with his favorite snack being honey buns.[59] Daniels earned an undergraduate degree from Arizona State in December 2021 and pursued a Master of Liberal Arts degree at LSU.[1][60][61] In 2024, San Bernardino mayor Helen Tran declared January 20 Jayden Daniels Day and presented him with the key to the city.[62] At the same time, Cajon High School renamed their football stadium after him.[62]
Daniels uses virtual reality (VR) as part of his training. The custom software, designed for VR headsets by the German company Cognilize, incorporates the same playbook used by his team and allows for specific stadiums and opposing teams to be represented.[63][64] He began the practice at LSU during his 2023 Heisman season and continued to use the technology in the NFL.[64] In college, Daniels signed name, image, and likeness (NIL) deals with brands such as Raising Cane's, Powerade, Beats by Dre, and Urban Outfitters.[65][66][67] He will be featured on The Money Game, a six-part NIL-focused docuseries by Prime Video that followed him, Angel Reese, Flau'jae Johnson, and Livvy Dunne through LSU's 2023–24 sports season.[68] Daniels threw the ceremonial first pitch at a Washington Nationals baseball game in June 2024.[69] At the 2024 ESPYs, he presented the Best Play Award to Lamar Jackson alongside Dunne and Lil Wayne.[49]
