Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark continues to make headlines ahead of the 2025 WNBA season. On Thursday, she was the talk of the sports world once again after the NFL shared a moment from her recent public appearance.

Clark attended the NFL's annual meetings alongside tennis icon Serena Williams last Sunday. Joining a panel with football great Eli Manning, the trio discussed the growth of women's sports and the increasing interest in them.

Clark, Williams and Manning also touched on flag football, which can be a key area for growth for women's sports and something that the NFL could have interest in moving forward.

The Fever star, for her part, admitted that she wanted to play flag football growing up.

"I remember going to my brother's football games, and I was like, 'Why can't I play flag football?' I would've played it, I would have loved it," Clark shared,

The NFL posted a video of Clark's admission, which drew strong reactions from fans.

"I saw her throw, she’s definitely got an arm!" a commenter wrote, referencing Clark's passing. Another one said, "Love this!"

"She’d lowkey be nasty at QB throwing dimes all over the place," a fan confidently said.

"Something should be set up during the pro bowl weekend for athletes from different sports," a supporter suggested after hearing Clark's love for football.

"Great player," a fifth follower stated.

"I SUPPORT CC ALL DAY," a social media user posted.

It remains to be seen what steps the NFL will take to get more women involved in the sport. if the league does decide to do something with flag football, though, it sure looks like they'll have one big supporter in Caitlin Clark.
