RGIII Invited to USA Flag Football Camps for 2026 World Champs

Published March 27, 2026 · Updated March 27, 2026 · Yahoo Sport

Former Heisman winner Robert Griffin III has been invited to Team USA flag football training camps after a strong showing at national trials, as he targets a spot on the 2026 World Championship roster and the 2028 Olympic debut.

Robert Griffin III, 36, was named one of 24 athletes vying for a 12‑player roster for the 2026 IFAF Flag Football World Championships. He earned an invitation to the U.S. training camps after performing at national team trials, with sessions scheduled at the Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center on April 16‑19 and May 21‑24, followed by a June final camp that will determine the final roster.

The move comes as flag football prepares for its Olympic debut in Los Angeles in 2028. Griffin, who last played in the NFL in 2020, is following the path of former NFL stars who have already proven Team USA’s dominance, beating NFL‑led teams in the Fanatics Flag Football Classic earlier this year.
