Patrick Mahomes reveals expectation on whether he'll compete in 2028 Olympics flag football for Team USA

However, Mahomes appeared uninterested in the role when asked about it by reporters on Thursday. 

"I'll probably leave that to the younger guys. I'll be a little older by the time that comes around," Mahomes said. 

In the summer of 2028, when The Games will take place, Mahomes will be 32 years old and just weeks away from turning 33 that September. 

Mahomes previously suggested he would "want to" play in the Olympics, but questioned whether he has the skills to do so, and also expressed concerns about his age, back in August. 

"First, I'm going to be in my 30s at that point and then it's a lot of scrambling at the QB position. It's not just sitting there throwing. And then I'm sure more of the athletic quarterbacks might get out there. I could be a coach. You get a gold medal for being a coach? Maybe I could be a consultant for the team."

Last month, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said interest in competing in the Summer Olympics has been a hot topic in the league, adding a resolution on the issue may be forthcoming.

"I think that's something that we'll continue to discuss with, not just the union, but also the clubs. I think both of those are things that we'll probably resolve sometime in the next 60 days."
