Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes on flag football: 'I'll leave that to the younger guys'
@Source: foxsports.com
Flag football will debut as an Olympic event at the 2028 Summer Olympics, but Kansas City Chiefs superstar Patrick Mahomes doesn't expect to be slinging passes in Los Angeles. "I'll probably leave that to the younger guys. I'll be a little older by the time that comes around," Mahomes said about playing flag football in the 2028 Summer Olympics on Thursday, according to FOX Sports NFL Reporter Henry McKenna. Mahomes will be 32 by the time that the 2028 games commence. Last summer, the NFL named Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts as the Olympic flag football ambassador. As for Mahomes, the two-time NFL MVP and three-time Super Bowl MVP totaled 3,928 passing yards, 26 passing touchdowns, 11 interceptions and a 93.5 passer rating last season, while completing 67.5% of his passes in a 15-2 campaign for the Chiefs. He also rushed for 307 yards and two touchdowns. Mahomes ranked second among quarterbacks in rushing grade (91.5), 10th in overall grade (85.8) and 14th in passing grade (79.1), according to Pro Football Focus. Of course, while they were the No. 1 seed in the AFC, Mahomes and the Chiefs lost to the Eagles in Super Bowl LIX, 40-22, ending their three-peat aspirations. The Eagles' win got them even with the Chiefs, who beat the former in Super Bowl LVII. The two teams will run it back in Week 2 of the 2025 season, as the Chiefs host the Eagles on Sept. 14 (4:25 p.m. ET on FOX and the FOX Sports app). Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?
