Patrick Mahomes doesn’t seem too interested in Olympic flag football

   

Patrick Mahomes sounds like he’ll be watching from home when it comes to Olympic flag football in 2028. 

The Chiefs quarterback didn’t seem too enthused about playing when he was asked about the topic on Thursday.

“I’ll probably leave that to the younger guys. I’ll be a little older by the time that comes around,” Mahomes told reporters.

Mahomes’ name has been floated as a possible option to QB the U.S. team in 2028 when flag football takes the international stage at the Summer Games being played in Los Angeles. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes #15 of the Kansas City Chiefs throws a pass to his coach during the Kansas City Chiefs OTAs at The University of Kansas Health System Training Complex on May 29, 2025 in Kansas City, Missouri.

He would be 32 by the time the next Summer Olympics roll around and would actually be weeks away from his 33rd birthday by then, making age a factor.
