Tom Brady Eyes 2028 Olympic Flag Football Return

Tom Brady is reportedly considering playing flag football for Team USA at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, with his Olympic appearance potentially occurring shortly after his 51st birthday. The NFL has approved a rule allowing one active NFL player from each team to participate in the Olympic flag football event, but retired players like Brady would not count against this quota. Multiple sources indicate Brady is motivated by the prospect of winning an Olympic gold medal, which would coincide with his eligibility for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2028. Fans and industry leaders are enthusiastic about the idea, viewing Brady as a powerful ambassador for globalizing football. His disciplined lifestyle and competitive drive are cited as reasons for his strong candidacy. The NFL’s decision highlights its ongoing efforts to boost international visibility.
