'Like One Of The Better NFL QBs': Caitlin Clark Gets QB Leadership Comparison By Former NFL Player

In one of the recent episodes of “The Facility ” on FS1, former Green Bay Packers wide receiver James Jones gave his honest opinion on the influence and impact of Caitlin Clark, despite challenges this season.

“This year’s been injured, and she’s having a little down year, sure, but Caitlin Clark makes everybody around her better, she’s like one of the good quarterbacks in the NFL, she just makes everybody around her so much better,” said Jones.

Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White also talked about the hype surrounding her star player, Caitlin Clark, and Dallas Wings rookie and 2025 overall first pick Paige Bueckers. In her statement, White praised both star players, who were also both first picks in their respective drafts, and both college superstars.

“In my day, it’s watching Sheryl Swoopes and Lisa Leslie, and in their day it’s watching Caitlin [Clark] and Paige [Bueckers],” White said pregame of their matchup against the Wings.

“Everybody wants to see star players,” White added, citing the hype around the matchups between LeBron James and Steph Curry in the NBA as an example.

WNBA Legend Ranks Caitlin Clark Lower on Her Tier List, Provides Explanation

In one of her recent interviews, WNBA legend Candace Parker gave her tier list of WNBA players, and Caitlin Clark fans may not be pleased with where she placed the Fever star.

In her interview with Complex Sports , Parker placed veteran MVP A’Ja Wilson on her S-tier. She cited Wilson’s two championships as one of her reasons. She also added Minnesota Lynx star Napheesa Collier, who she called “elite on both ends.” She also added Breanna Stewart to her S-tier, with her three titles under her name.

On her A-tier came Catilin Clark, but only because she believes the Fever star has not yet unlocked her full potential.

“Caitlin Clark is an A-level player right now. She’s on her way to that top tier, but it’s going to take more time,” Parker explained. “She has the tools. She just needs a couple more seasons.”

So far this season, Caitlin Clark averages 18.2 points per game, 8.9 assist, and 5 rebounds. She shoots 39% from the field, and 29.5% from beyond the arc.
