As flag football prepares to make its Olympic debut in 2028, Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes would welcome the chance to go for a gold medal.

Speaking to reporters on Friday, Mahomes said he "definitely" wants to play in the Summer Games in Los Angeles.

"But I've seen some of those guys play flag football," he added. "They're a little faster than I am."

Flag football was one of five sports added to the Olympic rotation starting with the 2028 Games in Los Angeles by the International Olympic Committee. Cricket, baseball-softball, lacrosse and squash were also approved.
