On Sunday, USC women’s basketball star JuJu Watkins attended the Washington Commanders’ 27-10 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Specifically, Watkins appeared to be there to watch Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels , who was returning from injury after missing the team’s previous two games.

Daniels attended several of Watkins’ games last season, sparking rumors of a relationship between the two athletes. On Sunday, the Commanders’ official X account posted a video of Daniels and Watkins exchanging a special handshake.

Watkins was seemingly sitting with Daniels’ mother. In July TMZ Sports asked Watkins about her relationship with Daniels but she didn’t provide an answer. Now, fans will be left to wonder if there’s something more than friendship between the two star athletes.

Daniels certainly put on a show for Watkins on Sunday. In the win, Daniels completed 15-of-his-26 pass attempts for 231 yards and a touchdown, without throwing an interception. Daniels also rushed for 39 yards on eight carries.

During the triumph, Daniels became the first quarterback to rush for 1,000-plus yards in 20 games or less in NFL history. The stunning performance was likely a much-needed distraction for Watkins, who’s had a rough offseason.
