Flag football, despite being a non-contact variation, still poses injury risks, as evidenced during the Fanatics Flag Football Classic where active NFL quarterbacks like Joe Burrow and Jayden Daniels engaged intensely in drills. Commentator Grant Paulsen noted the high stakes for players, raising concerns about potential injuries that could impact their upcoming seasons. Although no active players were injured, former NFL tight end Rob Gronkowski did suffer a hamstring injury. The NFL appears willing to accept these risks to promote the sport globally, while teams and players largely focus on performance until injuries occur.
