Team USA Flag Football QB Says They 'Don't Need' NFL Players for Olympics

The NFL has approved a significant rule allowing its players to participate in the 2028 Olympics, where flag football will debut as an official sport in Los Angeles. This decision has sparked discussions about potential Olympic rosters featuring NFL stars. However, Team USA's quarterback, Darrell Doucette III, believes they can win gold without NFL players, emphasizing the skill and experience of current flag football athletes. Doucette, who has won two world championships, welcomes competition but argues that flag players deserve their shot. Although Doucette openly compares himself to Patrick Mahomes in flag football skill, whether NFL players will join Team USA remains uncertain. The new rule allows one NFL player per team to try out, ensuring potential roster drama as the games approach.
