Caitlin Clark Says She’s Rooting for Drake Maye and the New England Patriots

WNBA star Caitlin Clark revealed on the New Heights podcast — hosted by Travis and Jason Kelce — that she’s got her eye on the NFL playoffs, and she’s not staying neutral. The Indiana Fever guard said she’s a fan of Patriots quarterback Drake Maye, calling him “incredible” and making it clear she’ll be cheering for the New England Patriots as the postseason gets underway.

Clark made the remarks while discussing the NFC playoff landscape, even acknowledging strong teams like the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams. But when it came down to who she’d support in the AFC, she singled out Maye — the former UNC star who’s helped propel the Patriots back into Super Bowl contention — as her favorite player to watch this winter.

Her comments quickly circulated on social media, with fans reacting to the crossover moment where one of women’s basketball’s biggest names publicly backs an NFL team and quarterback in the Super Bowl chase.
