He’s a Heisman Trophy winner and arguably a top 10 SEC QB of all time. I say it’s completely fine to feel this way about your number.


Completely disagree. It's very petty and small. I've always liked
Daniels. I may like him a whole lot less after this whiney behavior.

Jayden always felt like a phony… trying to sell the “good wholesome class act” way too hard all the time.

What’s the saying, time is the father of truth?

I think ultimately the number will end up being retired in the future.


If he makes a huge issue out of this and does not withdraw his legal action I doubt seriously his number will get retired.

I think he is not putting his best foot forward. I have NEVER heard of an athlete doing something like this!

LSU helped this young man take the next step and for that he should be grateful and thankful and not spiteful

Jayden doesn’t own the #5 on an LSU jersey. Appalling. BTW, Pickett has worn #5 pretty much his whole life playing football.

Such a shame that LSU doesn't have any other amazing football players from their terrible history of football......guess it will just be that one clip of Cannon on a loop to promote the brand.

(This is obviously sarcasm if it wasn't obvious)

Hype videos
Pre game videos
NFLSU to start the 4th quarter

It will be interesting to see how much, if at all, LSU even honors the order

At this point I am done with hearing the word “disrespect”. It’s a buzzword for stirring up shite out of nothing.

From Grok

At LSU, retiring a jersey does not mean the number is permanently taken out of circulation. The LSU Athletics policy separates the concept of a "retired jersey" (which honors the individual player) from a "retired number" (which locks the number from ever being worn again).

The core of LSU’s unique jersey tradition stems from a major policy shift enacted on January 1, 2007:Retirement Date Rule Impact
Who it Applies To

Retired BEFORE Jan. 1, 2007

The number is permanently locked. No future LSU student-athlete can ever wear it.Pete Maravich (#23), Bob Pettit (#50), Shaquille O'Neal (#33) in basketball; Billy Cannon (#20) in football; Skip Bertman (#15) in baseball.

Retired AFTER Jan. 1, 2007

The player is honored, but the number stays in circulation. Future athletes can wear it at the head coach's discretion.Tommy Casanova (#37), Jerry Stovall (#21), Charles Alexander (#4), and Bert Jones (#7) in football. Seimone Augustus (#33) and Sylvia Fowles (#34) in women's basketball.

LSU uses this dual rule so it can extensively honor its rich sports history without running out of available jersey numbers for modern, 100+ player football or basketball rosters.

Again....it's going to be difficult just using that one clip of Billy Cannon.....

LSU might have to use A.I. for any videos.

JD[redacted] will never win a Super Bowl. He will be out of the league in less than 5 years. The NFL will forget about him.

He COULD have had a lifetime legacy and celebrity status in Louisiana and among Tiger fans for as long as he lived like Shaq. But he’s screwed that up permanently.

I hope he is managing his playing money well, because he’s going to disappear from the annals of LSU.

That damage control statement he put out just makes this 10x worse. Shows he has no control over his own career

His mother thought he was on a higher level than Michael Jordan.

Take the high road as a leader should and wish DJ a great year wearing #5.

Then move on. Geez.

Their plan backfired. They expected to be universally celebrated. His response he released only makes him look worse. Buy your momma a house remove her from the business and publicly apologize to LSU for being immature and not understanding another player having your number doesn't disrespect you or prevent you from getting your day in the sun. So stupid.
