Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark is being compared to a former NFL Pro Bowl signal-caller amid her roller-coaster rookie year.
Caitlin Clark has lived up to the sky-high expectations as the first overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft. She is the overwhelming favorite to win Rookie of the Year honors, averaging 16.7 points, 5.9 rebounds and 7.6 assists per contest through her first 23 games.
Though Indiana (9-14) has climbed back into the playoff picture following a woeful 2-9 start, it’s evident that Clark needs plenty of offensive support if the Fever are to emerge as a bonafide championship contender.
During the latest edition of “The Herd with Colin Cowherd”, FS1’s Colin Cowherd made an interesting comparison between Caitlin Clark and former Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck.
“She reminds me of Andrew Luck — same city. Doesn’t have a lot of support. He comes in with terrible o-lines, has to win by shootout. At the time, breaks the rookie passing record…goes 11-5.
Cowherd noted that Luck had nearly 4,400 passing yards and 28 total touchdowns as a rookie, but said people paid too much attention to his 18 interceptions.
Cowherd compared it to all the criticism Caitlin Clark receives because of her staggering number of turnovers. But he made a strong point that fast-paced players, including LeBron James and Stephen Curry, are prone to turning the ball over in large amounts.
Luck played for the Colts from 2012 to 2019, though he missed the entire 2017 season recovering from shoulder surgery. He played like a superstar for large stretches of his career, but a string of injuries limited him to 86 NFL games before Luck shockingly called it quits in 2019.
