NFL owners voted Tuesday to allow the league's players to try out for flag football teams at the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. The vote, which came at the spring league meeting in Minneapolis, was 32-0. In response, it's only natural to wonder which players could make up the U.S. men's team. Before we get to an answer, though, let's set some ground rules.
