The NFL approves the 2028 Olympic flag football players. Here are our American list predictions

The owners of the NFL officially voted in favor of the NFL players trying for flag football at the 2028 Olympic Games, which was prepared for all this offseason. During a 32-0 vote, the league now allows players to live their dreams to get an Olympic gold medal.

Although NFL players can try and participate in the flag Olympic football teams, there are restrictions. An NFL player can compete for each country, which means that there may be teammates who end up facing different sides in 2028. Six countries will be represented in 2028 during the flag football games, which will be decided through qualifying on the male and female side. These are the first 10 countries of Football Flag of Men and Women, the United States at the top of the two. Shoutout in Austria, powerful football flag.
Although NFL players are allowed to play, many members of the United States team football think they will go well without them.

In that spirit, here are some players who, I think, will be considered to align Olympic football for the American team:
- Jayden Daniels, QB, Washington commanders: Daniels gets a sign of head here on his contemporaries because of his double threat capacity and his age. Daniels is 27 years old when the Olympic Games take place, compared to Josh Allen (31), Patrick Mahomes (32) and Lamar Jackson (31). Daniels' ability on the ground and hit the deep ball should be useful when we arrive at qualifying matches
- Bijan Robinson, RB, Atlanta Falcons: Robinson or Jahmyr Gibbs of the Strait Lions will be ready for this place, but I am going Robinson here because watching him Juke Poor Swiss Mechanics out of their shoes would be hilarious.
- Justin Jefferson, WR, Minnesota Vikings: Jefferson is only 28 years old when the matches take place, and he was present today when the flag football was voted, so he could end up becoming a team captain, not to mention a team player.
- Ja'marr Chase, Wr, Cincinnati Bengals: Jefferson and Chase are the two best NFL receivers, and they could both end up competing for the only place that the NFL player on the American team's list.
- Travis Hunter, WR / CB, Jacksonville Jaguars: this can be a little premature, but when you have a player as unique as Hunter, it makes sense. He could play everywhere in the field and has an almost endless petrol tank.
Who is selected for Team USA and the qualification process will be fun to see taking place when we arrive at 2028.
