Five Packers players that would dominate if they had the chance to represent the US in 2028 Olympic flag football

According to NFL Network's insider Mike Garafolo, the league will discuss at next week's owners meeting a resolution to allow players to participate. If it's approved, one player from each NFL franchise will be allowed to play, in addition to members of the International Pathway Program.

Games are scheduled to be held in Los Angeles from July 14-30 in 2028, with the final game in the same week teams usually report to training camp. That means participating in the Olympics wouldn't affect a player's preparation for the season.

The Green Bay Packers have some interesting pieces, and some of them could certainly be a part of the US Olympic team. Let's dive into this idea, putting together five players who could be in Los Angeles three years from now.

Dontayvion Wicks

You don't need to believe me, just believe Jordan Love. In an interview to Kay Adams last month, the quarterback said exactly this:

"Best at flag football in the Olympic team? I would say Wicks, Wicks would be the one to go out there and be able," Love said. "I think flag football is all about having that shakiness ability, to be able to shake people off, make sure they don't grab your flag. With his ability to get in and out, he'll route some people up and then he'll get out there and make you miss. I think he's got that ability, he'd kill it in flag football."

Wicks has had some issues with drops, but the ability to get separation is his calling card at the highest level.

Evan Williams

Williams is extremely athletic, and his sideline-to-sideline speed is impressive. The young player is aggressive, which flag football wouldn't demand, but he is also active and is always close to the ball. He also has decent ball skills if it's necessary to play both ways.

Edgerrin Cooper

I would certainly don't want to be tackled by Edgerrin Cooper, but it's hard to think about escaping from him with a flag too. His ability to fight through bodies to reach where he wants to is impactful in the NFL, and it would be in flag football as well.

Tucker Kraft

Kraft has the mentality to play offense and defense in flag football, the same type of mindset that allows him to be a good special teamer when needed. Sure, in flag he wouldn't have to break tackles, but he could still stiff arm opponents to avoid having his flag taken away. His strong hands will also make life easier for the quarterback.

MarShawn Lloyd

Lloyd had a 4.48 40-yard dash coming out of college. He's fast, and his best ability as a running back is how he's able to execute outside runs exactly because of his speed. The way he runs would align well with plays that work in flag football, and he's young enough to still be playing at a high level in 2028, which is something not every NFL running back can say.
