It’s the time of year when the NFL considers rule changes and owners around the league vote on various proposals. While the expected ban of the Philadelphia Eagles’ trademark “Tush Push” play is on the forefront of fans’ minds, the league also gave a green light to players to participate in flag football in the 2028 Olympics.
Given the United States’ stranglehold on the sport, this is a unique opportunity for stars to link up and earn a gold medal. It isn’t yet clear which players would participate, though former Kansas City Chiefs wideout Tyreek Hill seemingly hinted at a possible reunion on social media.
This isn’t the first time that Hill has clamored for reuniting with Patrick Mahomes, though this likely represents the best chance for it to actually happen.
Tyreek Hill Suggests He Wants to Play Flag Football in Olympics After Rule Approval
In a post on X, Hill shared an emoji implying he wants to suit up for the Olympics in 2028. He’s already 31 years old and will be 34 during the Olympics, so it’s unclear whether the team would even want him, though his interest is clear.
Mahomes is, without question, the country’s top choice to play quarterback during the games. The opportunity to win a gold medal and represent the States on the largest scale is once in a lifetime, so if Mahomes wants to participate, there’s little question that he’d be the leader of the team.
If that happens, then Mahomes and Hill could be paired up once again. The duo lit the NFL on fire when Mahomes burst onto the scene, and Hill was a Pro Bowler all six years that he spent in Kansas City. Reunion rumors have long circulated, yet this is the best chance of it actually coming to fruition.
There’s a lot that can happen between now and 2028. Who knows, maybe Hill will even be back in a Chiefs jersey by then. Regardless, it seems fans might one day actually get to see Mahomes and Hill work together one again.
