Caitlin Clark is a big fan of Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs.

But they won't be in the postseason this year, and so Clark has to find a different rooting interest as the NFL playoffs get underway next week.

She's on team Drake Maye.

Clark plans to pull for the New England Patriots and their incredible second-year QB.

She revealed this plan on New Heights, the podcast of the Kelce brothers.

“I’m a Drake Maye fan I think he’s been incredible," Clark said. "... I’ll probably be pulling for the Patriots."

Maye and the Patriots have had an incredible turnaround.

In his rookie season, they won four games. They're now 13-3 with Week 18 still to play.

New head coach Mike Vrabel has made a big difference, and the Pats upgraded at other spots, as well.

But the biggest key has been Maye's continued evolution into a rising superstar.

With Maye at the helm, the Pats can go far, and Clark will be rooting them on.
