RGIII Invited to USA Flag Football Camps Ahead of 2026 World Champs

The former Heisman winner and 2020 NFL veteran was named one of 24 athletes vying for a place on the U.S. flag football squad that will compete at the 2026 IFAF World Championships. He earned the invitation after performing at the national team trials, and will attend two training camps in Chula Vista, California, from April 16‑19 and May 21‑24, before a final selection in June.

Flag football will make its Olympic debut in Los Angeles in 2028, and the sport gained attention last weekend when Team USA defeated NFL‑led teams in the Fanatics Flag Football Classic at BMO Stadium, underscoring the need for players like Griffin to immerse themselves in the discipline over the next two years.
