Jayden Daniels, the dynamic QB of the Washington Commanders, is making headlines—but not for his game this time. It’s all because of his mom, Regina Jackson, and her possessive behavior during the NCAA basketball tournament.
People didn’t know how protective she was until a courtside moment between them went viral on social media. Her behavior makes it clear she doesn’t mess around when other women try to talk to her son.
Recently, Jayden Daniels was spotted sitting courtside with USC basketball star JuJu Watkins during the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament. They looked happy and seemed to get along well, making fans wonder if they were dating.

But things took a serious turn when Daniels’ mom sat between them, cutting off their conversation. People on social media then started talking about Regina Jackson being very protective of her son, especially when it comes to his relationships.

Social media couldn’t hold back its reactions to her possessive act.
