Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, who played in ten games and threw for over 2,300 yards last year, has his sights on having a bounce-back 2024 after a season-ending injury. However, the QB already has his sights on 2028.
On a recent episode of Pardon My Take, Burrow stated that he wouldn’t mind joining the United States flag football team. “I want to play for the Olympic Flag Football team,” Burrow said. “Like me, Ja’marr Chase and Justin Jefferson, me and my friends playing football. I think it’d be cool.”
The signal-caller noted that it would be “embarrassing” if the U.S. didn’t win a gold medal in the sport’s inaugural Olympics. Patrick Mahomes and Tyreek Hill also expressed interest in participating in 2028’s Olympic games.
Flag Football will debut at the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. It is similar to standard football, but instead of tackling, players remove flags attached to the ball carrier. Flag Football was added to expand the NFL’s effort to take the game of football abroad.
