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

“But in 2028, I’ve said it before and said that’s the goal. I want to go for gold with Team USA and I’m taking every step to get there, respecting these guys and respecting the flag football community along the way.”
After the final training camp, a selection committee will narrow the list of possible players from 24 to 18 for a third camp in June. The committee will then select the top 12 players for the world championships, which will take place August 13-16.
