Regina Jackson, mother of Washington Commanders star quarterback Jayden Daniels, addressed the public perception of her parenting style in a Mother's Day episode of The Pivot Podcast.
Jackson, who serves as his business manager, defended their relationship, describing her son's situation as "comfortable" because he can focus solely on football while she handles the business side.
"He's been very acclimated in sports since he was young, but he doesn't know the business world," Jackson said. "He doesn't know the predators or the vultures that could be out there. So he feels very comfortable in knowing that not only am I educated and qualified to do it, I'm also his mom."
"The thing is, I think we're changing the narrative that has been out there," she continued. "So, it looks a little different than what people are used to, 'cause not only am I educated on that side, I'm also a certified agent, but I'm also his business manager."
Jackson said every parent's concern should be the predators and vultures who would want to take advantage of their child. This includes women, in Jayden's case.
Despite how overprotective she may seem, Jackson wants to make it clear that she is not preventing her son from dating. "Our thing is, I want Jayden to date," she said. "I don't want everybody to say—I'm putting it on the record. My son can date. He can live freely. He makes his own decisions."
