Caitlin Clark, the Quarterback, Has the NFL Taking Notice

Originally posted on Athlon Sports | By Paolo Songco | Last updated Jul 9, 2025 10:46 AM ET

There's no denying that Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever is one of the most popular basketball players on the planet right now. In fact, one could even go as far as saying that she's the most prominent player in the WNBA at the moment.

Her immense fame is primarily due to her exceptional basketball skills, which have established her as one of the top players in the league today. As it turns out, however, Clark also has a talent when it comes to football.

A video of Clark throwing footballs after practice is currently making its rounds on social media. So much so that even the NFL has caught wind of the clip.

Clark showcased her precision passing in the video above. Apparently, she's not only a wizard when it comes to basketball, but she also has a knack for playing the role of a quarterback — and the NFL seems to agree.

It's her skills on the basketball court that will be put to the test on Wednesday, though, as the reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year is primed to make her highly anticipated comeback after missing five straight games due to a groin injury.

Barring any unforeseen setbacks, Clark will be available for the Fever when they host the Golden State Valkyries at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Wednesday afternoon.

Clark may need to contend with some rust after her extended injury absence, but given that this is Caitlin Clark we're talking about here, it would not be a surprise if she goes off yet again in her first game back.
