Patrick Mahomes, Matthew Stafford offer very similar reasons for not wanting to play flag football at 2028 Olympics

Our Summary

The article discusses the differing career expectations for NFL players based on position and age. While running backs are often considered past their prime at 29, quarterbacks like Tom Brady, Drew Brees, and Aaron Rodgers have played into their 40s. Matthew Stafford, at 37, remains an effective Los Angeles Rams starter but shows no interest in playing flag football at the 2028 Olympics, even joking about possibly coaching instead. Patrick Mahomes, 29, shares a similar sentiment, preferring to leave Olympic participation to younger players. Both Stafford and Mahomes acknowledge the importance of youth for such events, despite still performing at high levels in the NFL.
