Stafford will be 40 when the Olympics roll around in 2028<\/p>\n
Matthew Stafford’s response to the possibility of being on the flag football team in the 2028 Olympics was pretty funny lol<\/p>\n
“Sure. I mean, nobody’s going to want me to but yeah, sure. It’d be fun. I’ll coach.” pic.twitter.com\/v3O3pILXfH<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Cameron DaSilva (@camdasilva) May 29, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Matthew Stafford has shown absolutely no signs of slowing down as he approaches 40 years old, continuing to put together strong seasons for the Los Angeles Rams<\/a> in recent years.<\/p>\n He\u2019s entering his age-37 season in 2025 and though he\u2019s still viewed as a top-10 quarterback by most, even he knows he has some limitations \u2013\u00a0one of them being the 2028 Olympics flag football<\/a> team.<\/p>\n With NFL players allowed to participate in the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles now that flag football has been added, Stafford was asked Wednesday whether he\u2019d be interested in playing. His answer was perfectly humble.<\/p>\n \u201cYou talking about coaching or what?\u201d Stafford said after letting out a laugh and raising an eyebrow.<\/p>\n As for whether he would want to play, he knows that\u2019s not realistic.<\/p>\n \u201cSure,\u201d he said, smiling. \u201cI mean, nobody’s going to want me to but yeah, sure. It’d be fun. I’ll coach.\u201d<\/p>\n Spoken like a true veteran who knows where he stands at this point in his career.<\/p>\n Flag football is a young man\u2019s game and it would probably help if the quarterback were mobile, so Stafford doesn\u2019t exactly check either of those boxes.<\/p>\n
