Olympic flag football transition may not be seamless for NFL stars. Here's why

With flag football joining the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles, NFL players are eager to participate, but the transition may be challenging. Amber Clark-Robinson, a seasoned flag football player and coach, explains that despite their athletic prowess, NFL players need to adapt to flag football's distinct style and rules, which differ from traditional tackle football. Mastering these nuances is crucial for success. The USA Football national team is already highly competitive, and NFL players won’t automatically secure spots. Athletes like Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson express interest, emphasizing the broad appeal of Olympic competition.
