Most reactions center around Jackson’s well-documented protective nature toward her son, which is not surprising at all.
One fanjoked, “‘Stay away from my son’. I think she needs to let him get a woman, now. His play has fallen off.”
A second NFL fan humorously suggested Rooks “had to ask permission to interview her son.”
A third fanclaimed, “She was just making sure she doesnt have her sons number.”
A fourthdeclared, “Girl i wanna go out and have a good time with Jayden but you gon have to stay home this time…”
Another usersaid, “She is politely telling her to stay away from her son.”
A sixth userremarked, “Oh SHIT! I forgot it’s Jayden Daniel’s Mom SZN! Let’s GO.”
A seventh one shared his surprise,noting, “I’m surprised she let her near Jayden.”
Following that comment, some fans cracked jokes, suggesting Jackson probably finds her son’s future partner. Onewrote, “Alright now Miss Daniels.”
Anotherremarked, “Heyyyyyyy Miss Daniels…….” while sharing a meme gif.
However, Rooks is married. Shetied a knot in this off-season. So, those comments started as a joke and ended as a joke as well.
Why Everyone Calls Jayden Daniels a “Mama’s Boy”
Jackson isn’t just a supportive mother. For the universe, she’s literally Daniels’ certified NFL agent, having passed the required tests in 2024 to represent him professionally.
Since then, she has always been vocal about protecting her son from “wrong women” and has openly discussed screening his potential romantic interests. She’s earned a reputation as a “momager-extraordinaire” who doesn’t let Daniels publicly date, keeping his Instagram focused strictly on football and partnerships.
Now her concern is understandable because at Daniel’s age, there are many examples of football players who unintentionally went down the wrong path, like many relationships, drugs, violence, and so on. So, she is just trying to keep her son’s and family record clear, nothing else.

While Daniels has publicly stated, “Still gotta listen to my mom.” At times, this has raised questions about the boundaries between family and business. But here, his mom is his business manager.
So, the mother and son just kept off the boundaries and let folks make jokes around. But the fact is, at the end, everyone loves and respects the mom and son duo.
