Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels is gearing up to face the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship game with a heavy heart. The rookie quarterback has decided to auction off one of his personalized Commanders coats to benefit the Los Angeles Fire Department, which has been dealing with devastating wildfires in the region.
The custom-made jacket was designed by Kristin Juszczyk, the wife of San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk. The designer is known for her custom-made jackets, having created outfits for celebrities such as Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner. The jacket features Daniels’ number 5 emblazoned on it, along with the team name on the right cuff and left breast.
The bottom of the burgundy and gold coat reads “Welcome to the team,” while the inside of the jacket features the phrase “L.A. Strong.” Daniels was born in Fontana, California, and attended Cajon High School in San Bernardino before committing to Arizona State and later transferring to LSU.
The wildfires in Los Angeles have left unfathomable destruction in their wake, and firefighters are still battling to contain the infernos. Officials have warned of the risk of toxic ash runoff, making it essential to raise funds to support those affected.
Only one of the jackets will be auctioned, with all proceeds going to benefit the Los Angeles Fire Department.
