Not too bad. He will get better.
Looks that way. Should be a good 4th round.

Prayers to the family
Mom is losing horribly in the court of public opinion.
That implies you thought they did. That's like Ol Miss fans thinking Lane would never leave redneck mecca. That he'd finally found his oasis amongst the dirt roads and whispering pines.
I don't think this toothpaste is going back in the tube
JD just destroyed his Image and all the goodwill acquired the last 4 years
He just destroyed his name and image.

There's are no issues, Jayden. This is just stupid and I rarely use this word and it is not Kiffen 's fault.
Finebaum is ripping Jayden today. Spoiled and elite. Joe is not doing this.

re: SEC Heisman Winners

Good point. Most SEC Heisman numbers are still being worn. Jayden is a little out of line here.

Colleges generally weigh multiple factors before retiring a number, unless your name is the University of Colorado. Legacy , awards, a player's contributions to championships, records, and overall team history are considered. Maybe even championships won in the NFL or HOF winner. For instance, Joe Burrow not only won the Heisman but also a national championship, best team in CFB history, all bolstering his case - and his number has not been retired. Program tradition: Some schools reserve jersey retirements for a handful of legends in their history to maintain the honor’s significance .
.
Balance and fairness: Colleges often avoid retiring numbers immediately so that future players and team dynamics remain flexible

Alternatives to Retiring a Number
Many programs recognize great players without retiring their numbers such as state or local Hall of Fame or Ring of Honor, allowing Numbers and legacies to be honored and celebrated without permanently taking jerseys out of circulation.Special jersey awards: Some schools pass a jersey number to a deserving player each season to honor the original player’s contributions while keeping the number active .

Conclusion
While winning the Heisman Trophy is a prestigious achievement, it is not by itself a definitive criterion for retiring a jersey number at power 5 universities. The decision depends on a combination of a player's overall contributions, school-specific traditions, and the desire to preserve the honor and exclusivity of retired numbers. Programs may instead choose other methods to honor legendary players while keeping options open for future athletes. Major programs need to get out of the business of retiring numbers. This fact became even more evident after the fiasco surrounding former Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders and his slide to the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft after his number was retired. No Heisman, no NC and no NFL career.

LSU does not have a history of retiring numbers. It is not in their culture or DNA. LSU has retired only 5 numbers in its' entire history. If Jayden wins 2 or 3 superbowls and passes for 50,000 + yards in his NFL career, maybe then should his number should be the 6th. However, I think Joe will get #6 first. Jayden and LSU will just have to disagree on this subject.

Maybe Verge and Kiffin haven't heard of that rule.
Tell Jayden , if he wins the superbowl, we will retire the number
