Caitlin Clark is making the most of her first offseason as a professional basketball player, recently attending the Super Bowl, where her favorite team, the Kansas City Chiefs, saw their championship reign end with a 40-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

She was all smiles as San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle shared a collection of photos from Super Bowl weekend parties in New Orleans.

One of the images in Kittle’s 11-photo Instagram carousel, posted Wednesday, featured Clark posing with Kittle and his wife, Claire.

Clark wasn’t just present at the Super Bowl inside Caesars Superdome — she was also a major figure in the broadcast. She starred in a Nike advertisement alongside several other female athletes, marking the brand’s first Super Bowl ad since 1998.

The commercial, titled “So Win,” serves as a new brand anthem for Nike. It features Clark, Jordan Chiles, Sabrina Ionescu, Sha’Carri Richardson, A’ja Wilson, Sophia Wilson and Juju Watkins in a black-and-white montage narrated by rapper Doechii.

Caitlin Clark reaches out to fellow Iowa alum Cooper DeJean after Super Bowl win

Rookie cornerback Cooper DeJean had a breakout moment in the Super Bowl, intercepting Patrick Mahomes and returning it for a touchdown. The pick-six marked both his first NFL interception and touchdown and extended the Eagles’ lead to 17.

Among those who congratulated DeJean on his game-changing play was Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark, who, like him, played college ball at Iowa.

In an episode of the “Up & Adams Show,” DeJean shared that Clark sent him a message after the victory.

"She sent me a nice message, congratulating me," DeJean said. "That was nice of her being a Chiefs fan and all."

Clark and DeJean share a friendly rivalry dating back to their time at Iowa. Last year, DeJean went viral for his confidence in a hypothetical one-on-one basketball matchup against Clark.

Clark was selected as the No. 1 pick in the 2024 WNBA draft by the Indiana Fever after setting the NCAA all-time scoring record with 3,951 points.

DeJean, meanwhile, was selected by the Eagles in the second round with the 40th pick
