The Washington Commanders are riding high in the first year with rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels.
After a thrilling overtime win over the Atlanta Falcons on “Sunday Night Football,” the Commanders quarterback decided to go out and be entertained by other athletes.
On Monday night, Daniels was spotted in attendance at the New York Knicks-Washington Wizards game in D.C.
The 2023 Heisman Trophy winner was sitting courtside with his mother.
As cameras trained on the both of them courtside for a quick video, Jayden Daniels could be seen with his phone near his ear while his mother was turned to him.
Soon, the young quarterback would drop his phone and acknowledge the camera while watching the game.

“Mama knows best,” another fan said of the interaction.
“Is he not a grown ass adult? These star athlete parents control everything in their lives since they could walk, now he’s a grown adult and she’s still telling him what to do? Very weird dynamic,” one upset guy added.
“When mom’s drop the final order, you gotta listen,” another X user said of Jayden daniels listening to his mother.
One final fan added: “Good job momma!”
Jayden Daniels Has Had A Dynamic Rookie Campaign
Daniels has had quite the rookie campaign.
Among his accomplishments, he became the second quarterback in NFL history with 5+ passing touchdowns, 250+ passing yards, and 75+ rushing yards in a game while also becoming the first rookie in NFL history with multiple game-winning passing touchdowns in the final 30 seconds of a game.
Jayden Daniels has completed 69.4% of his passes for 3,530 yards with 25 touchdowns to nine interceptions.
It seems he is the runaway winner for being named the Offensive Rookie Of The Year.
REPORT: Someone Leaked Former NBA Champion Glen ‘Big Baby’ Davis’ Prison Meal Menu, And It Looks Like He Threw His Diet Plans Out The Window

In October, authorities convicted former NBA player Glen ‘Big Baby’ Davis of defrauding the NBA’s health care benefits plan and began his 40-month sentence at FPC Duluth in Minnesota. They sentenced him alongside 21 others, including former players like Terrence Williams, even though Davis has consistently claimed he’s innocent. Before heading to prison, he talked about using his time behind bars to focus on fitness and work on transforming his body. But, the reality of prison food has made that goal a little harder to reach.
TMZ Sports got a hold of the menu for Davis’ first few weeks in prison, and it’s safe to say it’s not exactly bodybuilder-friendly. His meals were packed with carbs—pizza, lasagna, tacos, and alfredo made up his first week’s dinners. The next week wasn’t much better, but it did include some slightly healthier options like turkey, steak, and roast beef. However, breakfast and lunch had a few better choices, like fruit, oatmeal, and protein sandwiches. Even though the meals might not be ideal for his fitness goals, Davis is probably just trying to make the best of things.

Davis, who played eight seasons for the Celtics, Clippers, and Magic, averaged 8.0 points and 4.4 rebounds in 514 regular-season games. He won one NBA championship, helping the Boston Celtics claim the title in 2008. While his fraud conviction has definitely thrown a wrench in his plans, Davis seems determined to make the most of his time in prison. Before his sentencing, he said, “When I lost basketball, I lost myself,” showing he’s ready to rebuild.
Glen ‘Big Baby’ Davis Remains Focused On His Future Despite 3.5 Years Prison Sentence
Even with everything going on, Davis is staying positive. Before going to prison, he posted a tearful video to his 118K Instagram followers, giving them a peace sign and saying, “I love y’all… Be good!” This emotional farewell showed his resolve to face the future head-on. Judge Valerie E. Caproni gave him a temporary break to finish a documentary about his life, and the project could generate money to pay his $80,000 restitution.
Despite the difficult road ahead, many in the NBA, including the likes of former NBA All-Star Andre Iguodala, have supported Davis by writing a letter asking the judge for leniency during sentencing. Things might be difficult for Davis, but his commitment to turning his life around is clear. Whether or not he’ll be able to hit his fitness goals in prison is still up in the air, but his determination to rebuild is obvious.
