There is less than a week left of the 2024 Paris Olympics, and as some of the final events get underway, the NFL is already looking ahead at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games — and they’re doing so with a promo video featuring Eagles QB Jalen Hurts.

Hurts is the Global Flag Football Ambassador, and the video will definitely get people fired up.
When the Olympics return to the United States in four years, Men’s and Women’s Flag Football will be one of the new events. It’s something that has already garnered a lot of buzz and attention among the NFL, with players thinking about whether or not they’ll try and make the team.
It’s a great way for the NFL to continue to grow the game internationally, and it being a flag football competition takes some of the injury risk out of it for active NFL players weighing their options.
