On Tuesday, May 14, Caitlin Clark, the top pick overall in the 2024 WNBA Draft, is scheduled to make her Indiana Fever regular-season debut. With Clark, perhaps the most exciting talent in sports right now, the whole basketball world is waiting excitedly for her to play her debut against the Connecticut Sun.

Peyton Manning, the legendary quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts, was asked to comment on Clark’s arrival earlier this week.

“It’s awesome,” Manning began. “I’ve really enjoyed getting to know Caitlin even more. Throughout this series, she was a guest on our show, the Monday night show, last year.

“She’s a Chiefs fan. I forgive her for that, but she said she did grow up kinda watching me play.”

Caitlin Clark and Peyton Manning have been getting real acquainted with each other as she is among the college stars profiled in Full Court Press, an ESPN documentary from Manning’s Omaha Productions. As a result, the two became familiar with one another well before Clark’s arrival in Indy was confirmed.

That led to them taking a picture together that is going extremely viral on social media. The caption on the photo points out the forehead space that both Clark and Manning both have.
