Flag football will be added to the Summer Olympics in 2028, and Bleacher Report’s Brad Gagnon put New Orleans Saints football player Taysom Hill on his ideal inaugural flag football team. Hill does so many things, so you may ask where he fits in. Quarterback? Fullback? Tight end? Slot receiver?
In a way Gagnon cheated, as he also utilized Hill’s greatest strength, his versatility. Hill may be listed as a quarterback in this exercise, but there is no plan on him lining up at quarterback. Patrick Mahomes is the starter and is unlikely to get injured. So, where does Taysom Hill fit into this?
Everywhere.
Sounds almost like the role he’s had with the Saints. By putting him as a backup quarterback, you get to sneak a skill set of a wide receiver onto the team under the guise of quarterback play.
Flag football in the 2028 Olympics will be a five-on-five competition. Offensively, there will be a quarterback, three wide receivers, and one running back. If Taysom Hill is in the game as a receiver, that would leave the opportunity open for trickery.
When the Olympics roll around, the flag football team will likely include two true quarterbacks. This will be the sport’s first ever Olympic competition. Honoring two of the best quarterbacks in the world is the most likely course of action. It was a good try by Gagnon, though.
