As a global flag ambassador, the Minnesota Vikings' star wide receiver was instrumental in the league's Tuesday passage of a proposal that permits NFL players to participate in flag football at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. A four-time Pro Bowl player, Jefferson has recent experience playing flag football at the reimagined Pro Bowl Games. He said it gave NFL players a taste of what playing on an Olympic team together could be like. And while NFL players possess skills that would help them excel in flag football, Vikings linebacker Brian Asamoah II, another global flag ambassador, acknowledged there's already a pool of talented athletes who specialize in flag football. But however this selection process goes, I think just everyone getting an opportunity to play flag football will definitely push this whole growth of the game forward.
