As exciting as it is that flag football will be a part of the Summer Olympics for the first time in 2028, one NFL star is reportedly still on the fence when it comes to how he feels about it.

While Vikings superstar Justin Jefferson called it "a dream" to be able to potentially participate in the Games and win a gold medal for the United States, his former LSU teammate Ja'Marr Chase didn't seem quite as enthused.

"I don't know," Chase told SI.com. "I want to know the timing for us, offseason, in-season. I want to know if we're getting paid. I want to know where we traveling every other week or every day, like all that plays a part, because we have an offseason, we have a life. How long would that be? I don't know. There's a lot of questions to it."

"I think it's pretty cool," he concluded. "But I'm not really 100% on it yet."

The Bengals wideout also went on to say that he has mixed feelings about pushing the country's current flag football players to the side so the NFL guys can play.

"We taking they love of the game, and bashing it with our love of the game," Chase explained. "Now we taking away their love of the game and we killing them. It's a lot, bro. I think it's cool, but I just don’t know if I’m 100% in on it."

Flag football is currently scheduled to take place in Los Angeles from July 14-21, just a few short years from now.

Quarterback  Darrell "Housh" Doucette has gone on-record that he's a better flag football player than Patrick Mahomes and that "the flag guys deserve their opportunity."
