NFL owners make ruling on players competing in Olympics

NFL owners have voted in favor of allowing players to compete in the 2028 L.A. Olympics, with flag football being the main draw for players. There is a caveat that no more than one player per NFL team can be picked for an Olympic squad, with the exception that international players with roster exemptions are also allowed to represent their respective countries.

So, if the Denver Broncos have an international player on their roster in 2028, they could have up to two players participate in the 2028 Olympics that summer. Broncos cornerback Pat Surtain could be a potential coverage candidate for Team USA's defense, and a pass rusher like Nik Bonitto and a speedy wide receiver like Marvin Mims could also draw interest from the Olympic squad.

The 2028 Olympics are scheduled to be held from July 14-30, so there should be minimal overlap for NFL offseason programs. Most clubs begin training camp in late July, and no team would be missing more than two players if camp starts before the Olympics wrap up.

Flag football is coming to the Olympics, and at least one Broncos player could be involved. Just three more years to go.
