Caitlin Clark names $503,000,000 QB as current NFL favorite

WNBA Rookie of the Year Caitlin Clark has revealed her favorite NFL player and it’s none other than Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. She shared her pick when she joined Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce on Thursday's episode of the "New Heights podcast."

As Jason asked the Iowa alumni about her favorite, she teased that it was Travis.

"I mean, obviously Travis is up there," Clark said.

She received cheers from the Kelce brothers but she subtly backtracked and named Mahomes.

"But I'm obviously a big Patrick fan too," Clark said.

Travis then jokingly responded to her.

"I’m here!" Travis said.

Mahomes, who is a two-time MVP and three-time Super Bowl champion is a household name, and for good reason. His unprecedented $503,000,000 contract only scratches the surface of his greatness.

He signed the deal with the Chiefs in 2020. The 10-year extension will keep the star QB in Kansas City until 2031.

While Mahomes is Clark's favorite, she is also a big fan of Travis' girlfriend, Taylor Swift.

Sharing excitement about attending the pop icon's "Eras Tour," Clark described Swift's December show at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis as "electric." She also recalled attending one of the tour's earlier shows in Minneapolis with her Iowa Hawkeyes teammates.

"I went early on when Taylor first went on tour," Clark said. "In Minnesota, U.S. Bank (Stadium). One of her early concerts, that was a lot of fun. I went with some of my college friends and we had a good time together."

Clark has made it clear that she has been Swift's fan for a long time.
