Joe Burrow has no thoughts about the LSU, Jayden Daniels number fracas
NBC Sports • • general
Key Points:
- Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels is involved in a dispute with LSU over the re-issuance of his number 5 jersey, a situation linked to LSU's prior commitment not to reuse Joe Burrow's number 9.
- Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow commented on the issue after a preseason game, stating he had only recently learned about it and lacked enough information to form an opinion.
- Burrow confirmed LSU had promised not to use his number 9 again but acknowledged uncertainty about whether that promise would be upheld.
- The controversy partly stems from coaching changes at LSU, with former coach Brian Kelly reportedly making promises about jersey numbers that Lane Kiffin later had to navigate.
- The aggressive stance taken by Daniels's camp has complicated the situation, potentially harming both Daniels and LSU's interests.
