Ravens' Tyler Linderbaum Praises Iowa Legend Caitlin Clark

In this story:
Baltimore Ravens center Tyler Linderbaum is one of the many with his attention captured by the WNBA this week after Iowa star Caitlin Clark was selected by the Indiana Fever with the No. 1 overall pick.
"This past four years is the most women's basketball I've ever watched and I watch her more than the men's basketball," Linderbaum said. "The things that she has done for the game of basketball has been fun to watch and just being able, from Iowa, to see the development and growth that she's done for that program and women's basketball has been awesome."

Linderbaum, a Pro Bowler this past year for the Ravens in his second NFL season, also impressed and made his home state of Iowa proud. He played in 15 games for the Ravens and had just three penalties called on him throughout the entire season.
If Linderbaum can take that next step in 2024, he can be just like Caitlin Clark was in women's college basketball this past year - the best player at the position. He may not have the same impact on the sport that Clark will, but he may get the Ravens one step closer to a Super Bowl.
