WNBA star Caitlin Clark made a splash on the New Heights podcast, hosted by NFL stars and brothers Travis and Jason Kelce. Clark offered a fresh perspective on a variety of topics, surprising fans with her depth of knowledge and charm. From sharing her WNBA journey to diving into her passion for football, the episode painted a fuller picture of the dynamic athlete.
While Caitlin Clark’s basketball prowess has earned her a loyal fan base, her football fandom took center stage during the podcast. A self-proclaimed Kansas City Chiefs supporter, Clark bonded with Travis Kelce over her admiration for his team. She also shared her experience attending a Taylor Swift concert, an event that connected her to a pop culture phenomenon many fans associate with Kelce.
Beyond the lighthearted conversations, Clark didn’t shy away from discussing her career in the WNBA. She reflected on the challenges of living up to the enormous expectations placed on her as a rising star in the league.
“He’s taught me a lot. Probably unknowingly to him,” Clark shared, emphasizing the value of perseverance in overcoming personal and professional hurdles.
Showing off her football IQ
The highlight of the episode, however, came when Clark revealed her strong football knowledge. In an exchange that delighted both the Kelce brothers and fans, she spoke fluently about teams such as the Minnesota Vikings and Seattle Seahawks, the NFL Draft, and even standout college football quarterback Drew Allar. Her casual yet informed insights made it clear that she’s more than just a casual football fan.
Clark, however, chose to downplay her expertise, leaving fans both impressed and curious about the depth of her football understanding.
“When she doesn’t want you to know she knows more than you. Smart lady-people resent that sometimes,” a fan noted.
Another observed: “She’s being humble about her knowledge. They probably went and told everyone how cool she is.”
