During her highly anticipated appearance on the New Heights podcast, hosted by former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark revealed her deep-rooted allegiance to the Kansas City Chiefs. Clark made it clear she wasn’t a recent addition to the Chiefs’ fanbase, emphasizing that her support predates the team’s modern dynasty and their trio of Super Bowl victories led by Travis Kelce and quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
When asked about her favorite Chiefs players, the reigning WNBA Rookie of the Year didn’t hesitate to mention Travis, playfully admitting he ranks “up there” among her favorites. Her comment prompted celebratory cheers from both Kelce brothers. Clark quickly followed up with a nod to the Chiefs’ iconic signal-caller, adding, “Obviously, I’m a big Patrick (Mahomes) fan too. The both of you, you’re pretty great.”
Seizing the lighthearted moment, Travis launched into a playful impersonation of Mahomes, delivering a hilariously exaggerated rendition of the quarterback’s distinctive voice: “Um. I’m here.” The impression had everyone in stitches, with its unmistakable reference to Mahomes’ well-known vocal resemblance to The Muppets’ Kermit the Frog—a comparison that has followed Mahomes since his breakout season in 2018.
The quarterback himself has shown good humor about the ongoing joke. In one viral clip, when asked to deliver his best Kermit the Frog impression, Mahomes cheekily replied, “I’m talking right now… That’s it.” The exchange became yet another endearing moment in Mahomes’ growing catalog of viral soundbites.
While the Kermit comparisons are generally taken in stride, they’ve occasionally been weaponized by rivals. During a past training camp, the Las Vegas Raiders humorously paraded a Kermit Mahomes doll on the sidelines. Despite such antics, Mahomes and the Chiefs continue to silence critics with championship performances, and Clark’s admiration for both Travis and Patrick highlights the undeniable charm and talent that define Kansas City’s gridiron legacy.
