Tom Brady refuses to rule out playing at 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, but happy to pass torch to Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen

Tom Brady has refused to rule out competing in Flag Football at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games, but insists he is happy to let his younger successors lead Team USA to gold.

Flag Football is primed to make its historic Olympic debut at the 2028 Games as one of the fastest-growing and most inclusive sports on the planet.

A vote last year saw NFL team owners grant players permission to feature at the Olympics, with each national side allowed to select one player per NFL roster while each team's "designated international player" would also be able to be involved for their respective country.

Speaking on on Tuesday, Brady was quizzed on his interest in returning to the field.

"I would never say never, but it's probably unlikely, just so you know," said Brady.

"I think for these young guys, it's probably good for them to do it. If I ever wanted to come in as an advisory role, as a coach, something like that, that's probably better suited for me. I'll let the young (guys) Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen get out there and try to win a gold medal for the U.S."

Brady, a seven-time Super Bowl champion, retired from the NFL in 2023 and will turn 49 this August.

The Las Vegas Raiders minority shareholder is due to return to action in the Flag Football Classic on March 21st, having seen the game relocated from Saudi Arabia to Los Angeles due to the war in Iran.

He will serve as co-captain of Founders FFC with Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts against the Washington Commanders' Jayden Daniels and Cincinnati Bengals' Joe Burrow of Wildcats FFC.

"I love the NFL, I love the Raiders, I love working on that and different projects I have. So I have a lot going on," added Brady, who has also become one of the NFL's top analysts in his role with Fox Sports.
