NFL players can now participate in the 2028 Olympics in flag football. So, let’s build a flag football roster out of current Jacksonville Jaguars players.
In the NFL’s official flag football program, NFL FLAG, there are 10 players on each team, with five on offense and five on defense.
As noted by CBS Sports, the position groups that are represented in flag football include quarterback, center, wide receiver, and running back on offense. Then on defense, there is one rusher and four defensive backs.

Running back: Bhayshul Tuten
On the flag football field, where pulling a player’s flag is no easy task, give me Bhayshul Tuten and his 4.32 speed. Among all college football running backs in 2024,…
