From the Most Valuable Player Award to the Super Bowl Championship, Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes has won all the major honors that NFL players can get.

Is the Olympic gold medal next?

The Mahomes or any other NFL player may receive medals at the 2028 Olympics, as NFL owners voted to vote on Tuesday to allow players to participate in Flag Football, which will host six men's teams and six men's teams and 10 players in Los Angeles, as well as 10 players on each team.

Getting approval from the owner is crucial, but early on. In fact, bringing NFL players into the stadium still requires more details to be found between the league, the Players League, the U.S. Football Games (the organization) acts as a national governing body for flag football and the International Olympic Committee. However, as in the vote at Minnesota on Tuesday, each national team can choose a player on the NFL roster. In addition, each team's "designated international players" will also be allowed to participate in their own country. The latter will help rosters from outside the United States

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement that Olympic inclusion at Flag Football "has a chance among NFL players to compete for their country on the world stage," said NFL specialist Roger Goodell in a statement. "We are glad they have the opportunity now."

The proposal also states that the national team needs to meet the minimum standards for on-site surfaces and medical staffing. It also includes warnings to protect the team if one of their players is injured in Olympic-related training or competition, such as salary cap credit.

Players need to be tried or qualify for their national team.

Before Tuesday's Olympic voting, a handful of high-profile NFL players said they were interested in playing in the Olympics, including Mahomes, who said in 2023: "If I could still move around then, I would try to get out, I would try to get there, maybe throw it away in Los Angeles." ”

Flag Football is not a novel concept for the NFL, which introduces formats into the 2023 annual Pro Bowl show and provides resources and support behind creating Flag Football Falgues for men, women and children across the country.

“From the U.S. and internationally, flag football has been developing dramatically,” Goodall said in April. “This brings young women into the sport, which gives them a chance to play, and I think it’s very valuable for our future and meaningfulness. So putting it on the Olympic stage now is really a seal of recognition. Frankly speaking, this will be a stage that many athletes want to participate, including their former and current players, so we can work through it.”
