Jason Kelce poses putting flag football players to test over Olympics drama: ’Confident they’re not the best’

Nick Wright shares his dream roster for Team USA’s debut in Olympic flag football at the 2028 Games. He breaks down his top NFL players he would choose to represent the country and what this new opportunity means for the sport and the athletes.

After NFL owners approved players to play flag football at the Los Angeles Summer Olympics in 2028 earlier this month, players and fans alike have been dreaming about the potential squad the United States could have. 

However, U.S. men’s flag football national team quarterback, Darrell Doucette III, has been firm in his belief that flag football players should not be put aside just because NFL players are now allowed to participate. 

Former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce proposed an idea that would help determine which players, flag football or NFL, would represent Team USA in the Olympics.

"Let's just have these (flag football) guys play an NFL team that's picked and may the best team win and represent the USA," Kelce said during a recent episode of "New Heights."

"I think a coach that is familiar with flag football should select an NFL-represented team. That team should just play this flag football team that's been playing for a long time and feels like they are the best at it, and they don't need other guys. Then whoever wins (goes to the Olympics)."
