With flag football coming to the Olympics in 2028, San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk is throwing his hat in the ring as he wants to play for the United States.
News that flag football will be a part of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics has piqued the interest of many NFL stars who would love to showcase their skills on the global stage. Add San Francisco 49ers veteran fullback Kyle Juszczyk to that list. 'I 100% want to play flag football in 2028,' Juszczyk told Fox News Digital in an interview on Tuesday. 'And whoever’s in charge of that selection committee, please go watch my 2022 Pro Bowl highlight tape. That is my resume for the Olympics.
’ve always said, not that it’s a regret of mine, but something I wished I had the opportunity to do was compete in the Olympics and represent your country. I think that is so, so cool and special and unique,' Juszczyk said while also discussing the Purina for the Win Challenges. 'Football, we just haven’t had that opportunity. But now to have something with flag football would be really cool.
Juszczyk is now focused on making it back to the Super Bowl this season for some redemption after losing to the Chiefs in February, but he’s putting his hat in the ring now for the chance to be playing football for the United States.
