The viral Jayden Daniels, JuJu Watkins and his mom video, explained
It shouldn't be a huge shock to anyone, but: seems like people on the internet are taking things a little far with a video.
Stud Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels was seen sitting with USC superstar JuJu Watkins after a very easy first-round NCAA tournament win over UNC Greensboro. Then, Daniels' mom was seen sitting between the pair of incredible athletes.
That has sparked A LOT of rumors and buzz. And I'm here to tell you: we don't know how much of it is true. There are a lot of folks taking a lot away from these videos.
So let's dive in and talk about it:

Uh, doesn't JuJu Watkins have a boyfriend?
There was talk that she was dating D.J. Wagner, but that hasn't been confirmed.

I have seen that on social media, and it doesn't seem like that's true?
So this just might be two athletes, chatting?
Yup!
