Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has stated that he is unlikely to try out for a roster spot in flag football when it debuts at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, indicating he will leave it to younger players. At that time, Mahomes will be 32 years old and preparing for his 12th NFL season, despite having expressed interest in Olympic flag football last summer. The NFL has approved player participation, but specifics are still being negotiated with the NFL Players Association and other stakeholders.
