She wrote, \u201cI wish you would stop manifesting RGIII on my son. Words are powerful, and that\u2019s all that\u2019s talked about [two folded hands emojis].\u201dThe Washington Commanders quarterback was compared to a former Washington QB, Robert Griffin III. Both were drafted as the No. 2 overall by Washington after winning the Heisman Trophy in college; both are dual threat QBs with same build.Both had promising starts to their careers, but Griffin\u2019s career was derailed by injuries, and many feared the same for Daniels after he suffered a hamstring injury in Oct. 2025. As comparisons were drawn, his mother, Regina, requested that everyone stop it at once.Cut to the present, NFL legend Tom Brady commented on Daniels\u2019 mother during a special draft event, the Fanatics Flag Football Classic, in Los Angeles. Brady said, \u201cI haven\u2019t seen Jayden on the field in seven or eight months\u2026 I\u2019m just happy his mom let him play&#8230; [Daniels] has to be home by the time streetlights are on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tom Brady comments on Commanders QB Jayden Daniels\u2019 mother Regina Jackson<\/p>\n<p>The comment visibly made the 24-year-old awkward, and he looked down at the floor, probably thinking, \u201cWhat did I do to hear this?\u201d A better thought was shared by a commenter, \u201cMan, Brady just made me feel stupid.\u201d Several other cybercitizens echoed the quarterback\u2019s emotion.One post read, \u201cI know Jayden was hurt by that.\u201d Another chimed in, \u201cTom Brady with the casual dad-roast energy, Jayden taking it like a champ though [perfect GOAT trolling the rookie QB].Philadelphia Eagles QB Jalen Hurts was also there at the event, but one commenter was pretty sure that the 48-year-old NFL analyst would never say to the Hurts. Another called it, \u201cveteran trash talk.\u201d A post read, \u201cbrutal,\u201d and questioned, \u201cplayful banter or a real critique of Daniels\u2019 readiness and durability?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Seven time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady roasts Jayden Daniels<\/p>\n<p>A commenter noted that Brady spent his last two seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers throwing to wide receivers who could not stay healthy. He then retired for 40 days before coming back. Daniels took a hit in his first year as a starter and still went to the NFC title game. The commenter concluded, \u201cBrady calling out anyone\u2019s availability is a bit rich.\u201dA cybercitizen clarified the FOX Sports analyst\u2019s comment, saying, \u201cconsidering Jayden\u2019s mom is his agent and handles contract and marketing negotiations,\u201d the comment was \u201chalf-truth and half-roast.\u201dSome viewers enjoyed the comment, \u201cClassic Tom Brady energy. Always keeping it real. And that line about Jayden\u2019s mom is hilarious.\u201d Another called it \u201cgenerational gap humor\u201d and not \u201cdisrespect.\u201d A third user justified the roast, stating it was because the New England Patriots legend missed seeing Daniels\u2019 2024-level performance during the 2025 season. The Commanders signal-caller recorded 3,568 passing yards, 25 [six rushing] total touchdowns, nine interceptions, and a 100.1 passer rating in 17 games of his rookie season. It\u2019s no surprise the NFL legend missed Daniels\u2019 2024 form; in 2025, the Washington QB was limited to just seven games.<a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/microsite_v2\/website-toisa,path-book_pass_2026.cms?utm_source=TOI&amp;utm_medium=Masthead_sports\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" frmappuse=\"1\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Banner Insert\" imgsize=\"23456\" resizemode=\"4\" title=\"\" offsetvertical=\"0\" placeholdersrc=\"\" placeholdermsid=\"\" msid=\"\" type=\"thumb\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/129493222.cms.jpeg\" data-api-prerender=\"true\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NFL legend Tom Brady takes a subtle dig at Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels\u2019 mother Regina Jackson (Image&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":824429,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2069],"tags":[427,17431,114277,7,875,734,6,15922,202,250,1369,855,111,2480,2509],"class_list":["post-824428","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-washington-commanders","tag-commanders","tag-fan-reactions","tag-fanatics-flag-football-classic","tag-football","tag-fox-sports","tag-jayden-daniels","tag-nfl","tag-regina-jackson","tag-robert-griffin-iii","tag-tampa-bay-buccaneers","tag-tom-brady","tag-washington","tag-washington-commanders","tag-washingtoncommanders","tag-x"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116265095443225206","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/824428","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=824428"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/824428\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/824429"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=824428"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=824428"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=824428"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
