Whenever the Las Vegas Aces have their 2024 WNBA season come to a close, Kelsey Plum might want to consider a different sport during the offseason. She looks ready to suit up in the NFL tomorrow!
The 30-year-old point guard could serve as a nice depth piece for quite a few teams around the league.
Plum, drafted No. 1 overall in 2017, is on the smaller end for professional football at only 5-foot-8, 145 pounds. However, Demario Douglas, Devon Achane, Wan’Dale Robinson, and Olamide Zaccheaus are among the active players who share the same height. It’s not quite as far-fetched as you might think.
Plus, Kelsey Plum is absolutely jacked. Her arms are shredded and she is built in a way that could withstand a big hit from a crashing safety over the middle.
She’s tough!

The Patriots, Chargers, Steelers, Panthers and Broncos have some of the worst receiver groups in the NFL. They might want to give Plum a call. Heck, she could even fill in for her ex-husband Darren Waller on the New York Giants. Cornerbacks wouldn’t be able to press her at the line of scrimmage.
She also tried that fuck shit with Leonie too but big Leo wasn’t going for it 😂😂😂 https://t.co/jFzOEuOrOc pic.twitter.com/keNMTgoiXL

All of this (unrealistic) hypothetical discussion about Plum’s professional football future stems from a recent video of the Aces’ second-leading scorer during pregame warmups. Her coach threw her a basketball out of various breaks. She even pulled down a toe-tap touchdown on the half court line.
I’m just saying… the Cleveland Browns just signed Kadarius Toney. Surely Plum would have a lower drop rate than 13.6%, right? Did you see those hands?
All of this conversation about the three-time WNBA All-Star joining an NFL roster is entirely unserious. It’s just for fun. That is not something that is going to happen. Kelsey Plum is not going to play football.
But, honestly, there are a lot of teams that could do far worse…!
