“You’re Gonna Be Back Better Than Ever”: Caitlin Clark Sends Heartfelt Note To George Kittle After 49ers Star’s Achilles Nightmare

Caitlin Clark was one among many who responded to George Kittle’s Instagram post after he tore his Achilles tendon during the Eagles matchup. Kittle suffered the crucial injury right during the first quarter of the showdown and could be seen leaving to the locker room in pain.

Kittle later on shared a moving post with a message of hope and gratitude for his fans for their unwavering support. Of course, the tight end had to be his usual sunny self and shared a picture from the Calvin and Hobbes comics. Clark was spotted in the comments, sharing her message of love for the tight end.

“Football sucks sometimes. But I love it. I love these guys and this team. Heartbroken but have felt so much love and support from everyone reaching out. I’ll be good. Thank you. We aren’t done yet! Also when your team owner is the first person to meet you in the locker room, you know you’re in a special place. 🥃 cheers, all my love,” George Kittle wrote in his Instagram post.

“Love you bro (person raising hands emoji)” Eddy Pineiro commented.

Caitlin Clark has always been a major football fan, but more so, her love for George Kittle comes from the fact that the tight end, along with his wife Claire, is also an Iowa alumnus. Clark has been known to be a fan of anything and anyone who hails from Iowa and it is no surprise that she dropped this lovely message for the tight end.

Caitlin Clark Wants Pats To Win Super Bowl

While Caitlin Clark may be super supportive of George Kittle after his terrible Achilles injury, the W star’s loyalty in this football season lies with another team. In her appearance on the ‘New Heights’ podcast on NYE, Clark admitted that she will be supporting the Pats to win this Super Bowl.

Clark is originally a Chiefs fan in the league and even managed to watch a couple of games in the previous campaign. However, with the Chiefs thrown out of the tournament a couple of weeks ago, Clark has changed loyalties and switched to a Pats fan this time out.
