Patrick Mahomes states he is up for playing flag football for the United States at the 2028 Summer Olympics. The International Olympic Committee included flag football to the program for the Los Angeles Games last month. The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback, whose rushing and ad-lib capabilities would equate well to the sport, was asked Friday at a press conference in Frankfurt if he would have an interest in playing. “I certainly wish to. I’ve seen some of those guys play the flag football. They’re a little faster than I am,” he stated. “I understand there’s not like linemen obstructing for you. I’ll be 31, 32 years of ages. If I can still move around then, I’m going to attempt to get out there and toss the football around perhaps in LA.” Mahomes, who will be 32 when the video games start, included: “Just do not inform coach (Andy) Reid or (basic supervisor Brett) Veach.” In flag football, “takes on” are made by pulling a flag off a belt used by each gamer. It will be 5-on-5 used a 50-yard field. There are no offensive and protective linemen. At the World Games in 2015, the United States guys won the gold medal, and the ladies lost to Mexico in the last. The NFL has actually strongly promoted flag football both locally and globally to broaden its fan base. Mahomes is a two-time NFL MVP, a two-time Super Bowl MVP and has actually led the Kansas City Chiefs to the AFC national championship 5 straight seasons. The Texas local has actually passed for 2,258 backyards, 15 goals with 8 interceptions as Kansas City have actually begun the season at 6-2. His 95.8 passer score is the most affordable of his profession however the Chiefs are relying more than ever on Mahomes this season: their run video game is 21st in the league and none of the group’s pass receivers rank in the leading 40 in catches. The Chiefs will play the Miami Dolphins on Sunday at Deutsche Bank Park.
