NFL fans demand their teams sign female flag football star
A women's flag football star has caught the attention of NFL fans after showing off her hugely impressive arm strength.
Ava Hanson, the starting quarterback for Wellington High School's flag football team, left NFL fanbases begging for her to sign after leaving them stunned with her display at the Florida state championships last month.
In a video posted by user legendaryproductions727 on TikTok, Hanson can be seen dropping back before delivering a roughly 40-yard bomb right in stride to a receiver.
The quarterback's Wellington teammate, Avery Schroeder, then scampered into the end zone as the crowd went wild.
The impressive play has earned 2.5million views on TikTok - and has plenty of NFL fans asking their team to sign the talented passer.
'I've seen enough welcome to the Atlanta falcons blonde QB,' one wrote.
''She busy? Dolphins need a new QB,' a second added.
'On behalf of the Dallas Cowboys we'd like to welcome you and discuss possible contractual terms,' a third chimed in.
And a fourth said: 'Both of you...New York Giants...RIGHT NOW!!!'
While fans of those teams may not get their wish, it's possible that they could see the star passer at the upcoming Olympics.
Flag football will be part of the Games for the first time in 2028 when they take place in LA.
And the sport will feature both men's and women's divisions.
However, before any shot at the Olympic stage, Hanson, a senior at the Palm Beach County school, is set to take her impressive skills to the collegiate level.
In April, Hanson committed to playing for the Hendrix Warriors - a private liberal arts college in Conway, Arkansas - under head coach Doug Peterson.
She had also attracted offers from Daytona State College, University of Mount Olive in North Carolina, and Midland University in Nebraska.
The gunslinger threw for 3694 yards and 59 touchdowns for Wellington throughout this past season.
Hanson and Wellington narrowly missed out on claiming glory at the state championships, which were held at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' AdventHealth Training Center on May 8-10.
They were narrowly beaten in the 4A final by the Alonso Ravens - a Tampa area school - in a devastating 21-20 overtime defeat.
