NFL players who want to chase gold will need to commit time and energy to train their muscles and minds.

At least one former NFL first-round draft pick appears to be chasing that goal, Robert Griffin III announcing Thursday that he’ll be one of 24 players on Team USA’s 2026 training camp roster. Only half of those 24 will compete in the international championship in Germany this year.

Will active players take the time to study flag and compete in flag tournaments, which almost certainly will be necessary to acclimate them to the game’s highest level? Will quarterbacks practice throwing into the phone booth-like field that’s half as wide and long, receivers practice dipping their hips rather than muscling their way for extra yards, and defensive backs rep flag-pulling on the go ad nauseam?
