Tom Brady sent a warm welcome to Caitlin Clark’s former teammate on Monday night, as Kate Martin was selected by the Las Vegas Aces.
Martin, a former University of Iowa player alongside Clark, admitted that she was shocked to hear her name called in the second round, and that she was primarily there to support Clark.
But the Aces used the 18th overall pick to select her, leading Brady – a minority owner of the team – to write ‘Welcome to the family!’ on his Instagram story atop a graphic of Martin and her fellow Aces draftees.
The aces did not have a first-round pick but also selected Dyaisha Fair 16th overall, Elizabeth Kitley 24th overall and Angel Jackson with the 26th overall pick.
Brady was officially approved as a minority owner of the Aces in October.

And Tom Brady, a minority owner in the team, welcomed her to the squad afterwards
Speaking to ESPN’s Holly Rowe after being selected, Martin,’ I was here to support Caitlin, but I was hoping to hear my name called.
‘All I wanted was an opportunity and I got it, so I’m really excited.’
Martin averaged 13.1 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game – and was a key contributor to the team’s success throughout the season.
Brady, meanwhile, dropped a massive un-retirement hint last week, saying he was ‘not opposed’ to a return if a team called him.
‘I’m always gonna be in good shape. I’m always gonna be able to throw the ball,’ he added. ‘To come in for a bit like MJ (Michael Jordan) coming back – I don’t know if they’d let me, but I would not be opposed to it.’
The 46-year-old stepped away from the NFL ‘for good’ in early 2023.
