Everyone is speculating on who the NFL players for the 2028 Olympics will be. Don’t expect the world’s greatest tackle player, Patrick Mahomes, to be one of the participants for the debut of flag football.
The Chiefs quarterback said Thursday he doesn’t plan on going for the gold in Los Angeles three years from now.
“I’ll probably leave that to the younger guys,” Mahomes told beat reporters. “I’ll be a little older by the time that thing comes around.”
Mahomes turns 30 in September.
The flag football competition is scheduled for July 14-21, 2028, which is a week before most veteran reporting dates for training camp.
