I have never seen anything quite like this. Jayden Daniels sends a cease-and-desist letter to LSU. Doesn\u2019t want his name, image, [and] likeness being used because they are issuing his uniform No. 5 to DJ Pickett. Wait, what? Amateur hour.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFirst of all, if I was running college football, I\u2019d do a lot of things. But no uniform should be retired. You want to put a player in a ring of honor? Great, you do you. However you want to do it. I mean, think about all the players in college history, college football history; you can\u2019t retire uniform numbers. That\u2019s number one. Number two, you\u2019re not Joe Burrow \u2026 And I love Jayden Daniels in college. I love him as a pro. You\u2019re not even close to Joe Burrow. You\u2019re not even in the ballpark of Joe Burrow. That LSU offense was the best offense in the history of college football. So what are we even talking about here?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Schein pondered why Daniels would mess with his own reputation among LSU faithful and thinks that bridge has been burned for good.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlso, you are a god at LSU,\u201d Schein continued. \u201cWhy would you take your standing where you are and take all the fans, the current coaches, administration, the alum, everyone who was ever a student when you were there, and urinate on them? That\u2019s what transpired. Why would you piss away all the great will you earned? You\u2019re now dead to LSU.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It seems like there\u2019s a little bit of a rush to judgment on how this will all shake out for Daniels. If he\u2019s smart, he\u2019ll hire a crisis PR firm that will figure out how to position him for an apology and playful response to all of the memes. Time heals all wounds, and if the Heisman winner stands down and keeps his nose clean for a while, it\u2019s likely that he\u2019ll be welcomed back to Baton Rouge eventually. People have done far worse and still received a hero\u2019s welcome from their alma mater.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jayden Daniels has been in the midst of an awe-inspiring, reputation-ruining run for the last week after it&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":818221,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[347145,399,15358,6342,398,396,397,99],"class_list":["post-818220","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ncaa-football","tag-adam-schein","tag-football","tag-jayden-daniels","tag-lsu-tigers","tag-ncaa","tag-ncaa-football","tag-ncaafootball","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/818220","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=818220"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/818220\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/818221"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=818220"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=818220"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=818220"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
