Jayden Daniels mom's path to becoming an NFL agent
Regina is the proud mother of two children: Bianca - her eldest - and Jayden, who has made a name for himself in the NFL. Bianca is following her passion for the film industry.
In 2024, Regina took steps to become a certified NFL agent. She passed the NFL Players Association exam - which requires a bachelor's degree and a background check - in addition to a fee. She is motivated to gain knowledge to guide Jayden through his professional journey.
While she doesn't represent Jayden directly, her role as an agent supports his key decisions, allowing him to focus on what he does best: playing football.
Regina's husband - Javon "Jay" Daniels - is a former college football cornerback for the University of Washington and Iowa State University in the late 1990s and his athletic background and early coaching influenced Jayden in discipline and a passion for the game.
Javon introduced Jayden Daniels to football at a young age and mentored him in his early years in San Bernardino, California.
