Many NFL players honed their skills in flag before moving to tackle football, but since 2023 the NFL's Pro Bowl has switched from an end-of-season all-star game to a week-long series of skill contests culminating in a game of flag football. "To think about the chances of playing in the Olympics and getting a gold medal is a dream," said Vikings' star wide receiver Justin Jefferson, who played in 2023 and 2025. "That's a decision I definitely have to weigh in. It's three years from now, the body is going to be different, but that's something I've always wanted to do - compete for your country." Another star receiver Tyreek Hill has reiterated his interest in playing, while two-time MVP quarterback Patrick Mahomes has previously said he "definitely wants to". But Asamoah, who has Ghanaian heritage, stressed it is not just the prospect of representing Team USA that makes the 2028 Olympics so appealing, given the increasing number and calibre of international players. "There's 10 or 11 Ghanaian players now and I've put them all in a group chat, to share the news," he said. "The word is definitely getting spread around and all the guys are excited." Asamoah attended a football camp in Ghana earlier this year, one of many programmes looking to grow flag football around the world, and he warned that 2028 will not just be a procession to gold for Team USA, as it was for their NBA stars at Barcelona 1992. "The talent for Team USA will be kind of crazy, if you just stack our league's stars. I think that would be somewhat like a Dream Team," Asamoah added. "But then you've got to face a team like Ghana, who could have a guy that's 6ft 1in, 240lb and fast, then you put him on the football field and he's just doing some crazy things. "So I think you have to weigh the talents on a scale then just put them on the field and be like, 'OK, go compete'."
