Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels comes from a family of service. Both of his grandfathers served in the military, and Daniels has been vocal about his support of the military and its veterans. He may be a rookie, but he is humble and grounded and loves to give back to his community. Which is why he’s teaming up with USAA and the Marine Corps Association to send a 30-year USMC veteran to Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans.
#ad Blessed in Season 1! As a grandson of veterans, I’m teaming w/ @USAA & @MCA_Marines to pass
along one more blessing this year. I’m proud to send Jonathan Knauth, a 30 yr @USMC vet & lifelong NFL fan, on a trip to #SBLIX. Enjoy the game! #SaluteToService pic.twitter.com/2fLiJF0NLw

For his part, Daniels said, “Following my first NFL season, I’m feeling overwhelmingly blessed to be in this position and I credit a lot of the success to my upbringing and the lessons my parents passed down from my grandfathers, who served in the military. Keeping the important things in perspective, it’s an honor to work with the USAA and Marine Corps Association to thank Jonathan Knauth for his 30 years of service by sending him to the Super Bowl.”
Knauth resides outside of Washington, D.C. He and a guest will meet with Jayden Daniels and other NFL stars in person before attending the game, and the USAA is coordinating efforts with other players around the league.
