The Commanders took Daniels with the second pick in the 2024 NFL draft.

Jayden Daniels mom's path to becoming an NFL agent

Regina is the proud mother of two children: Bianca - her eldest - and Jayden, who has made a name for himself in the NFL. Bianca is following her passion for the film industry.

In 2024, Regina took steps to become a certified NFL agent. She passed the NFL Players Association exam - which requires a bachelor's degree and a background check - in addition to a fee. She is motivated to gain knowledge to guide Jayden through his professional journey.

While she doesn't represent Jayden directly, her role as an agent supports his key decisions, allowing him to focus on what he does best: playing football.

Regina's husband - Javon "Jay" Daniels - is a former college football cornerback for the University of Washington and Iowa State University in the late 1990s and his athletic background and early coaching influenced Jayden in discipline and a passion for the game.

Javon introduced Jayden Daniels to football at a young age and mentored him in his early years in San Bernardino, California.

For Prasen, providing historical angles relevant to the story is important, as it can give the reader useful information and help them relate it to the present.

He hates clickbait or misleading the reader.

A fan of the Colorado Buffaloes since Deion Sanders took over as coach, Prasen expects Coach Prime to make the Buffs a national championship contender. Nick Saban is his favorite all-time coach, while Baker Mayfield and Caitlin Clark are his favorite players. Prasen considers Vince Young coming up clutch for the Texas Longhorns in the dying seconds of the 2017 national championship game against the USC Trojans as the most iconic moment of all time.

Per Prasen, College Sports is competitive and garners attention but it is just the beginning, where a student-athlete can show their skills and potential to make it to the big leagues. When he is not researching and writing, Prasen’s hobbies include pursuing higher studies and playing sports.
