Minnesota Vikings star wide receiver Justin Jefferson is thrilled about the opportunity to participate in flag football at the 2028 Olympics. NFL owners voted to pass a resolution at the league's spring meetings on Tuesday allowing players to participate in flag football at the Games, sources told Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer. Jefferson was in the room with the 32 owners talking about the future of flag football and the involvement of NFL players.
"To be honest, I'm at a loss for words," Jefferson told ESPN's Brooke Pryor. "To think about the chance of playing in the Olympics and getting a gold medal, it's a dream."
