Is it a good idea to message the hiring manager on LinkedIn after applying?

When a sports job has a visible hiring manager or department leader, does a short LinkedIn message help or does it usually create more noise? I would like to hear how hiring managers actually view this.

A concise message can help when it adds context: why the role is a strong fit, a relevant connection to the work, or one specific point that is not obvious from the resume. Repeating “I applied, please look at my application” usually does not add much.
