The Washington Commanders quarterback is seen chatting with the USC basketball star during March Madness in Los Angeles.

JuJu Watkins and USC Trojans are must-see TV for this NCAA tournament, or in Washington Commanders star quarterback Jayden Daniels’ case, must-attend. The NFL Rookie of the Year even shared a moment with Watkins in the stands after USC’s opening game, and then another with his mom there.

With the game in Los Angeles, California, at the Galen Center, it was a home game for the Trojans, who dominated despite a couple Watkins injury scares, winning 71-25 over the UNC Greensboro Spartans.

Daniels also showed up back in February to watch Watkins and the Trojans’ win over then No. 1 UCLA. Like Watkins, the 24-year-old NFL Pro Bowler has a deal with Nike.

The two looked like they were engaged in a good conversation as Watkins was smiling while talking to him as ESPN cameras focused on them.

Daniels’ mom Regina Jackson was also there watching hoops with her son and at one point was hilariously seen sitting between the two and talking to Watkins.

Jackson has explained why her son and No. 2 overall NFL draft pick in 2024 remains single. Juju, 19, also isn’t linked to anyone either, and keeps a very private social life.

That’s some serious star power next to each other, though.

What happens if USC meets LSU in the NCAA tournament? Then the former Tigers star QB and his mom would have to root against Watkins, right?

I looked up more on Jack Johnson. It turns out the parents also stole a house from his grandfather. All three men had the exact same name, and the mother was a real estate agent, so she was good with paperwork.

They changed ownership to the grandfather's condo . A year later he tried to sell, it, but found out it was under lien and not his. The grandfather paid of the loan, because he didn't want his son to go to jail.

Later, the hockey player's parents got him to fire his agent and put them in charge of his finances, and the grandfather was furious.

I think a lot of successful young people have been cheated by parents, agents, etc.

It’s a real shame. It goes back. Jackie Coogan was a child star in the 20’s, and when he turned 21, his mother had spent all his money. They even made a Jackie Coogan law to protect children, but the stealing continued.
