Jayden Daniels sends a cease-and-desist letter related to the No. 5 jersey after LSU cornerback DJ Pickett is allowed to wear the number for the Tigers this season. Pickett publicly says he is keeping the jersey number, describing it as his.
The dispute centers on the ownership or assignment of No. 5, which is associated with Daniels’ time at LSU. Yahoo Sports reports that the letter comes after Daniels’ old number is used by Pickett, framing the matter as a formal request to stop the use. The New York Post focuses on Pickett’s response, emphasizing that he refuses to give up No. 5 and presents his continued wear as the outcome he expects.
Both accounts agree that Daniels is connected to the number and that Pickett is wearing No. 5 at LSU. They differ mainly in emphasis: one highlights Daniels’ legal action, while the other highlights Pickett’s refusal to change.
