Caitlin Clark’s favorite player on the Kansas City Chiefs is none other than Travis Kelce!
The WNBA star, 22, appeared on the Jan. 2 episode New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce, where she revealed her longtime love for the Kansas City Chiefs and that Travis, 35, is her favorite player.
Clark said her family would try to go to one Chiefs game every year when she was growing up, and she recalled a particularly icy Christmas Eve game she saw Travis at a few years ago.
When Jason, 37, asked Clark who her favorite player was after revealing her brother was a big fan of former Chiefs Tony Gonzalez, she said, “I mean, obviously Travis is up there,” prompting cheers of excitement from both brother Kelce.

“I am obviously the great Patrick [Mahomes] fan, too,” Clark added. “Both of you, you’re pretty awesome.”
Travis interjected with a goofy impression of Mahomes, 28, saying, “Thank you,” in a nasal tone after Clark praised the Chiefs stars.
After revealing Travis as his favorite player, Jason asked the Chiefs to cover his ears so he could ask Clark what he thought of the Chiefs this season as they try to make NFL history as the first team to win three consecutive Super Bowls.
“I feel good,” Clark said of the Chiefs, pointing to Kansas City’s 13-1 record. “It’s not that bad,” the Indiana fever rookie continued.
“But also, you made him interesting as a fan,” Clark told Travis. “I think that’s what I appreciate most about you guys. You guys have that edge, that clutch factor,” Clark explained.

Travis noted that the Chiefs have been winning games because of their stellar defense this season and that their 13-1 record — which clinched first place in their division — was “a total team effort this year.”
In December, Clark shared more praise for Travis and his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, after the WNBA star attended back-to-back Eras Tour shows during Swift’s Nov. 1-3 run at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
