George Kittle and Caitlin Clark have something quite important in common.
They are both alumni from the University of Iowa. Kittle left university in 2017 to continue and play in the NFL, and Clark continued last year to become the first choice of the WNBA 2024 draft.
Kittle and Clark have already met to share their memories of Hawkeye, and by discussing the next classic golf tournament of the American century in Lake Tahoe, the tight star praised her even more.

“Caitlin is a dog. She couldn’t be more kind of a person. And she is always nice, takes her time for everyone. I think that when you spend a student at one of the most popular people on the planet, I think she manages him incredibly well. She always has.
As for his treatment on the ground, in particular difficult faults and what many fans believe is jealousy, Kittle has circumvented a little, but admitted that Clark “manages everything that is thrown incredibly well and with the highest grace”.
“Always proud of her and proud to say that she is a Hawkeye,” said Kittle.

Caitlin Clark says that the WNBA is “ sick ” on the title of the cup of the fever commissioner
Kittle will be on the course later this month for the famous tournament, saying that “anxiety could not be higher” despite a formidable outsider to win.
Kittle described its first interaction with Clark in an interview with PK Press Club Digital last year.
“We were hanging out in the training room after the match just to keep us away from the crowd,” he recalls. “She enters, kisses all sports coaches, speaks to everyone, tells us a little, and you can just see how people care about her. She has this incredible reputation that she built day after day. So, she did, and so excited for her.”

“You see how she is on the ground. She has this competitiveness. She has this fire in her,” he continued. “But as soon as she leaves the field, there is this reversal of the switch. She is just Caitlin Clark. To be able to go back and forth between all this, you have to be very good to be able to do it, and she does it perfectly.”
