The former Pro Bowler received an invitation last month to Team USA’s flag football training games as the team prepares for the International Federation of American Football (IFAF) world championship later this year. The first round of the training camp will take place from April 16 to 19 and the second round from May 21 to 24.
“That’s the goal and we’ve already taken the first step in that process,” Griffin told TMZ Sports about joining the Olympic team. “It’s 2026. What we’re all fighting for is to be part of the 12 that goes to Germany and plays in the 2026 IFAF World Championship. Team USA, since (Darrell Doucette III) joined the team, hasn’t lost a game. I think they’re the five-time reigning IFAF World Champions. They’re doing this at a high level and all I’m trying to do is add to that greatness.

“But in 2028, I already laid it out and said that’s the goal. I want to go for gold with Team USA and I’m just taking every step to make that happen and respecting these guys and respecting the flag football community along the way.”
After the final training camp, a selection committee will trim the list of potential players from 24 to 18 for a third camp in June. The committee will then select the top 12 players for the world championship, which will be held August 13-16.
