“I hope Cooper has a great game, but it’s my Chiefs all day long,” said Caitlin Clark, whose loyalty to the Kansas City Chiefs is no secret. However, watching her team get steamrolled by the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX, where her friend Cooper DeJean was making history, was undoubtedly a bittersweet moment for her.

Cooper DeJean didn’t intercept a single pass all season, until the Super Bowl, when he picked off one of the NFL’s all-time greats, Patrick Mahomes, shattering Caitlin Clark’s heart in the process. While Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts took home the Super Bowl MVP, it was Cooper DeJean who truly stole the spotlight, captivating fans everywhere and dominating the online fan vote!

Cooper DeJean, who was playing for the Iowa Hawkeyes football team became friends with Caitlin Clark during their time spent on the Iowa campus. And even though Clark was likely feeling the sting of her beloved Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl loss, she was still there to support her good friend. Cooper revealed a heartfelt message Caitlin sent him after his big win.

In an interview with Kay Adams where he was asked if he got a message from Clark, Cooper said, ” Yeah she did, she sent me a nice message, congratulate me so that was nice of her for being a Chiefs fan and all.” He couldn’t have asked for a better birthday gift than winning the Super Bowl.
