Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels is showing his support for his home state of California as he prepares for the NFC Championship game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Daniels, a rookie originally from Fontana, California, is auctioning a personalized Commanders jacket to benefit the Los Angeles Fire Department's efforts following the recent devastating wildfires.
The custom-made jacket features Daniels' number 5, the Commanders' team name, and the phrase "Welcome to the team." Inside, the jacket is inscribed with "L.A. Strong," a message of support for those affected by the fires. The burgundy and gold coat was designed by Kristin Juszczyk, wife of San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk, who gained recognition for creating similar jackets for celebrities like Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner.
Daniels' decision to auction the jacket comes as firefighters continue to grapple with the aftermath of the wildfires, which caused widespread destruction and raised concerns about toxic ash runoff. The auction will provide much-needed support to the LAFD and the communities they serve.
This act of generosity underscores Daniels' connection to his California roots and his commitment to helping those in need. As he prepares for a crucial game in his rookie season, Daniels is also making a difference off the field.
