'Better than Patrick Mahomes': Darrell Doucette boldly challenges NFL fame by claiming his flag football IQ beats Patrick Mahomes
'Better than Patrick Mahomes': Darrell Doucette boldly challenges NFL fame by claiming his flag football IQ beats Patrick Mahomes (Image via Getty) Flag football will be part of the Olympics for the first time in 2028, and people are starting to pay attention. U.S. flag football star Darrell Doucette made headlines in 2024 when he said he's 'better than Patrick Mahomes' at flag football. Many thought it was a challenge, but Darrell Doucette later explained he was only trying to highlight the skills in his sport. With more NFL players showing interest in joining the Olympic team, flag football athletes now want the world to respect their game—not see it as a competition with the NFL. Darrell Doucette and Patrick Mahomes become part of the same flag football story In 2024, Darrell Doucette, a flag football player nicknamed "Housh," told TMZ that he was "better than Patrick Mahomes" - but just in flag football. Darrell Doucette, who plays several roles on the field, didn't mean to put down the NFL player. He just wanted people to recognize his sport. 'It wasn't about me vs. them,' Darrell Doucette explained. 'It was about flag football, putting eyes on this game.' Darrell Doucette, a two-time world champion with Team USA, has been a flag football player since he was a child in New Orleans. In June 2025 he was part of the USA Football Summer Series at Dignity Health Sports Park in California when Team USA played teams from Canada, Germany, Australia, and Japan. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Esse novo alarme com câmera é quase gratuito em Timóteo (consulte o preço) Alarmes Undo The Olympics will feature flag football for the first time in 2028 in Los Angeles. The format will include five players per side, no tackling, and lots of quick plays. Vanita Krouch , Josh Allen , and others back the Olympic dream USA Football has confirmed that NFL players can join the Olympic team. Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen said in May 2025 that he would 'absolutely love' to play in the Olympics. Flag football legend Vanita Krouch, who once led the NFC team to a win at the 2023 NFL Pro Bowl, supports the idea but wants respect for current flag players too. 'We're welcoming those guys,' Darrell Doucette added. 'It's not us vs. them. It's us together.' USA Football will hold open tryouts, and every player—NFL or not—must earn their spot.
