## Caption

A representative for Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels has told Louisiana State University it can no longer use the 2023 Heisman Trophy winner’s name, image and likeness.⁠
⁠
ESPN got a copy of the letter that was sent to LSU athletic director Verge Ausberry and said Daniels’ decision stems from the school’s decision to allow cornerback D.J. Pickett to wear a No. 5 jersey. That’s the number Daniels wore during his two seasons at LSU.⁠
⁠
This would mark the first time an LSU player has worn No. 5 since Daniels’ departure, though the school hadn’t retired the jersey.⁠
⁠
News4's JP Finlay breaks down what we know.⁠
