As NFL players gain the opportunity to join Team USA for flag football at the 2028 Olympics, veteran quarterback Darrell Doucette emphasizes that current flag players should not be overshadowed by NFL stars. Doucette insists that the experienced flag football athletes deserve their spots due to their contributions in developing the sport, stating, “They didn’t help grow this game to get to the Olympics.” While he welcomes competition, he asserts that flag football is distinct from tackle football, and NFL players will need to adapt to its unique skills and gameplay.
