Pat McAfee (Jokingly?) Teases Caitlin Clark As Regular Guest, Would Be A Smart Move

Is Caitlin Clark going to fill a similar role as Nick Saban and Aaron Rodgers for Pat McAfee?

Clark is officially the face of the Indiana Fever after going first overall in the WNBA Draft, and there's a serious argument to be made that she's the most famous player in the league before playing a single second.

The WNBA has the chance to reach a new level thanks to the hype surrounding the former Iowa superstar. Will that include regular appearances on "The Pat McAfee Show"?

Caitlin Clark teases regular appearances on Pat McAfee's show.

Clark appeared on "The Pat McAfee Show" Wednesday after going first overall in the WNBA Draft, and it seems like she might be interested in hanging around.

"I'll be a weekly guest on here I guess if you want me to," Clark said during an interview with the new face of ESPN. McAfee responded by claiming her comment is now "binding."

Clearly, the exchange seems to be made in good fun, but why shouldn't it actually happen? Aaron Rodgers and Nick Saban both have had regular spots on the McAfee show.

There's no reason Caitlin Clark can't do the same. It would be absolutely massive for the WNBA, and also for the young basketball star. McAfee represents a new generation in media.

He represents a new era. The former Colts punter draws in viewers with his humor and unique style when it comes to breaking down culture and sports. That's why ESPN gave him a bank vault to stream his show on its network and social media feeds.

If Clark and the WNBA want to put a massive spotlight on them, regularly appearing on "The Pat McAfee Show" would be a great way to get it done. Agree? Disagree? Let me know at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
