Patrick Mahomes Made His Opinion of Caitlin Clark Extremely Clear: “She’s just a tremendous player, a tremendous person”

In the world of sports, the rise of Caitlin Clark has been nothing short of meteoric. As the No. 1 pick in the WNBA, Clark’s journey has sparked widespread conversations among fans and athletes alike. Among those impressed by her prowess is Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who made his admiration for Clark abundantly clear.

Before this year’s Super Bowl, Mahomes was asked to share his thoughts on Clark as she approached the all-time NCAA scoring record. His response was nothing short of glowing.

“She’s just a tremendous player, a tremendous person,” Mahomes remarked. “I’ve met with her and talked. You can tell she loves the game. … She’s going to be one of the best college basketball players to ever play, then go to the WNBA and dominate there as well.”

Mahomes, a superstar in his own right, seemed genuinely in awe of Clark’s talent and character. His comments reflect the mutual admiration between the two athletes, as Clark grew up a Chiefs fan, and now, one of the NFL’s biggest stars is a fan of hers. Mahomes even joked about the prospect of facing Clark on the court, admitting, “Hopefully I’ll never have to play her one-on-one because she’d for sure be getting buckets on me.”

Clark’s transition to the WNBA has been seamless. As the front-runner for Rookie of the Year, she’s averaging 16.2 points, 6.2 assists, and 5.4 rebounds per game. Her impressive stats have been a driving force behind the Indiana Fever’s recent four-game winning streak.

The anticipation around Clark’s performances continues to grow, with fans eagerly watching her every move. This Sunday, Clark and the Fever are set to face Angel Reese and the rival Chicago Sky in what promises to be a highly-anticipated matchup. As Clark continues to make waves in the WNBA, it’s clear that her journey is just beginning, and she has the support of some of the biggest names in sports, including Patrick Mahomes.

Clark’s story is a testament to the power of talent, hard work, and the ability to inspire others. As Mahomes noted, her love for the game shines through in everything she does, making her not just a tremendous player, but a tremendous person as well. The world of sports is watching, and Caitlin Clark is ready to rise to every occasion.
