Commanders QB Jayden Daniels and college basketball star JuJu Watkins watch March Madness
Sometimes, great athletes like to hang out together.
Jayden Daniels has all sorts of athletes wanting to get to know him and hang out with him. On Saturday, the Commanders' young quarterback was seen in the stands watching the NCAA Women's College Basketball tournament with University of Southern California (USC) star women's basketball player JuJu Watkins.
Watkins scored 22 points in the USC rout of the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG) by a very lopsided 71-25 score. She only needed 28 minutes to score 22 and grab eight rebounds.
Daniels was in the stands for USC's win in the first-round game of the NCAA Women's tournament. Following the game, Watkins was seen approaching Daniels and taking the seat next to the quarterback from LSU, who is now in his second offseason as a Washington Commander.

Both players are quite exciting in their respective sports, and the two being together on Saturday also naturally brought attention to the duo. Daniels was the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, leading the Commanders to quite the surprising 12-5 season, considering they were only 4-13 in 2023.
Daniels displayed both a passing and running ability, completing 69 percent of his passing attempts for 3,568 passing yards and 25 passing touchdowns. If that wasn't enough, Daniels also ran 148 times, generating 891 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns.
The two young stars are leaders on their teams, successful in their athletics spheres, and good-looking young people. Therefore, the attention was understandable.
With the easy win, the Trojans advanced to the second round, where they will face Mississippi State on March 24.
