CINCINNATI —

Could Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow become Olympic gold medalist Joe Burrow in the near future?

The 28-year-old Burrow said Tuesday that he would be interested in joining flag football competition in the 2028 Olympic Games.

NFL owners voted Tuesday to allow players to participate in the flag football events, which will be held in Los Angeles.

During flag football, a player is stopped by removing two flags that are attached to the ball carrier’s waist, rather than tackling.

Burrow said Tuesday that playing in the Olympics would be something he would consider, if the schedule lined up.

“I would love to,” Burrow said. “That’s an exciting opportunity, I think. I’m not entirely sure how that would work out with training camp and all of our obligations here. That’s not my forte but that’s something I would like to do for sure.”

The 2028 Olympics are scheduled to begin on July 14, 2028.
