In three years, flag football will officially be apart of the Olympics. The 2028 Olympics will also take place in Los Angeles. The Los Angeles Chargers will be able to see these events take place in their own backyard, but will any players actually participate?
Who would be the best representative for the Chargers for these flag football games? Justin Herbert? Ladd McConkey? There's a few names that could be thrown around. Daiyan Henley, last year's breakout linebacker, believes he should be the team's representative in the Olympics.
He said players have debated who would be the best flag football representative on the team. Daiyan said he would nominate himself. Almost everyone else said Ladd McConkey, creating a little rivalry between Daiyan and Ladd.

This is obviously a friendly rivalry and not actually bad blood between McConkey and Henley. Of course, many NFL players likely won't even participate in the Olympics due to Henley's reason of missing training camp. However, it's a fun thought to think of which Chargers players would be best to put on the US Olympic flag football squad.
