Caitlin Clark has gained millions of new fans over the course of her college career. Her incredible three-point shooting and passing has made her must-watch TV.  Now, she’s on the verge of reaching a second-consecutive NCAA Tournament final. And she’s getting support from an unlikely source: the Kansas City Chiefs.

Chiefs show support for Caitlin Clark vs UConn

On Friday, before Iowa’s Final Four game against UConn, the team posted a message of support for Clark.

The team shared a picture of Clark sporting Chiefs gear. She’s actually a big fan of the team, has made it out to games, and was even featured on an episode of the team’s official podcast.  Growing up in Des Moines, Clark didn’t have an in-state team to root for in Iowa.She certainly chose correctly. They’ve both proven to be serial winners.

Patrick Mahomes loves Caitlin Clark’s game

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has spoken about Clark in the past, having said this during media week right before the Super Bowl.  “A tremendous player, a tremendous person from every time I’ve met with her and talked. You can tell she loves the game… one of the best college basketball players to ever play, and then go to the WNBA and dominate there as well”.  Before she hits the WNBA, Clark is hoping to get past UConn and then defeat South Carolina to bring Iowa a first-ever national championship.
