In a few years, the Broncos will be allowed to ship one roster member out west for flag football tryouts for the 2028 Summer Olympics.
Safe to say cornerback Pat Surtain II, who’s locked up with Denver through 2029 on his current deal, might want that mantle.
“It’s definitely high interest,” Surtain said Monday night in Parker, speaking before an event hosted by his Patrick Surtain II Foundation.
“You know, ’cause Olympics is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. So, I don’t know. We’ll see how my body feel at 28.”
In late May, owners voted unanimously to allow NFL players to participate in the Summer Games in Los Angeles, which will introduce flag football as an Olympic sport for the first time in history.
