Robert Griffin III’s Surprising New Role: Joining USA Men’s National Flag Football Team Shocks Fans
NFL players found out the hard way that flag football is a lot different than tackle football when two teams with active NFL players on them got blown out by Team USA at the Fanatics Flag Football Classic. With flag football coming to the Olympics in 2028, several NFL players have said they want to play, but they’re going to need a lot of practice to get good enough at flag football to beat the players who have been playing it for years.
Griffin, who hasn’t played in the NFL since 2020, may have the time to commit to learning the skills and techniques of flag football, and that may give him a better chance than active NFL players who won’t make that kind of time commitment. But even Griffin would seem to be a long shot, as flag football is a different sport, and a sport that the tackle players struggled to play at a high level when given the opportunity.
