Patrick Mahomes answers whether he wants to play Olympic flag football

Mahomes will turn 30 in September, which means he will be just shy of his 33rd birthday during the 2028 Olympics. That is hardly old, especially for a quarterback. Mahomes is right that it would be somewhat old for an Olympian, however.

One NFL reporter recently said he believes Mahomes will want to have an opportunity to win a gold medal and represent the U.S. Although, Mahomes said in an interview last year that he might try to do that via a coaching or consultant role.

NFL team owners voted recently to give players the green light to participate in flag football at the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. Only one player per team will be allowed to try out, plus a designated international player.

The U.S. already has a national flag football team, and the quarterback of that team has said he believes he would be a better option for Team USA than Mahomes. Perhaps Mahomes agrees that even a two-time NFL MVP is not the best man for the job.
