Robert Griffin III named to 2026 Team USA flag football roster
Robert Griffin III wants to be part of Team USA's flag football team for the 2028 Summer Olympics. Now he'll get his chance.
Sometimes worlds collide. Flags in football are typically seen as a nuisance that is a source of constant controversy. In flag football, they are a necessary accessory attached to each player's hip.
The 2028 Summer Olympics will see the introduction of flag football as an event for the first time, but it remains to be seen who will get the nod for Team USA. The Fanatics Flag Football Classic gave fans a glimpse into the sport when NFL players and flag football professionals clashed on the miniature gridiron. OPINION: Team USA flag football sends clear message to NFL players about Olympics It was the flag football stars who got the better of the tackle football pros in that event, but there remains plenty of interest from all parties to secure a spot for the upcoming Olympic Games.
One of those interested players is Robert Griffin III, who announced on social media on March 21 that he would be joining the quest for gold. Proud and Honored to announce that I will be going for Gold in Flag Football with the USA National Team in 2028. The journey starts now and there is no greater honor than wearing USA across your chest and representing something more than yourself.
USA! USA! USA!
