Building Team USA's 2028 flag football team with Broncos players
Building Team USA's 2028 flag football team with Broncos players Flag football is coming to the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles, and NFL players will be allowed to participate. No more than two players per NFL team can be picked for Team USA, and designated international players will also be eligible to represent their respective countries. So the Denver Broncos will be missing a maximum of two players during the Olympics in 2028 (July 14-30). Team USA will have a 10-player roster for a 5-on-5 flag football format. The Broncos can't send more than two players, but we've been thinking about what a full 10-player squad could look like for Denver. The team's first and most obvious candidate is star cornerback Pat Surtain. He'll be 28 years old in 2028 -- still in the prime of his career -- and he has expressed interest in playing both ways, a skill that could be crucial for the flag team. The Broncos would need at least two more cover players -- Riley Moss (28 in '28) and Jahdae Barron (26 in '28) would be strong candidates. Denver does not have an elite coverage linebacker, so we'll add a fourth defensive back with Ja'Quan McMillian (27 in '28). The team's pass rusher is an easy choice: Nik Bonitto (27 in '28). On offense, Bo Nix (28 in '28) is the team's obvious choice at quarterback. The team's top wide receiver option by 2028 (for a flag football format) will likely be Marvin Mims (26 in '28). Speed is crucial in flag, so Mims is joined by Troy Franklin (25 in '28) at receiver. The third receiver spot goes to Pat Bryant (24 in '28) to give the team some height at the position. The fifth and final spot is a tight end/center hybrid role. How about a 6-7 Caleb Lohner (28 in '28)? Mims and Surtain would presumably be the stars of this team. PS2 could play CB and WR, and Mims could make a big impact at WR, RB and pass rusher. The average age of this squad would be just under 27.

Aqib Talib Advises Broncos Rookie Jahdae Barron to Learn From Pat Surtain II
The Denver Broncos selected cornerback Jahdae Barron in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Pairing Barron with Pat Surtain II and Riley Moss creates one of the best cornerback trios in the NFL. Barron, in his rookie year, will get to learn alongside Surtain and Moss as he transitions to the NFL. With the Broncos having a strong history of elite cornerbacks, there will be plenty of former and current players willing to help Barron acclimate to the NFL. Advertisement Former Broncos All-Pro cornerback Aqib Talib also provided some advice for the rookie cornerback. During his appearance on DNVR Sports with Bennie Fowler, Talib was asked what kind of advice he'd give to Barron entering the NFL. Talib gave a simple answer, "You got the cheat code, bro. Follow Surtain around, ask him questions, get his number, and see how to be a pro. He's a good dude, he's not going to stiff-arm you and mislead you on information. Get up under that dude's wing and learn how to be a pro." Talib also had advice on how to approach entering the league, with what he did when he came to the NFL. Talib said, "I'd tell my guy to reset, that's what I did, I got to the league, and it's like, 'alright, this is what I dreamed of, now I gotta set a new goal. I'm here now, what I wanna do now?'" Advertisement Coincidently, both Talib and Barron were both cornerbacks selected 20th overall. Coming into the NFL in 2008, Talib started with the Tampa bay Buccaneers before finding his way to the Broncos where he helped them win a Super Bowl in 2015. Denver Broncos cornerback Aqib Talib (21) before the game against the Dallas Cowboys at Sports Authority Field at Mile Chenoy-Imagn Images Talib was one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL when he was on the Broncos, and he was a huge reason why Denver was able to win the Super Bowl. He was a five-time Pro Bowler, with four coming in the four years he was in Denver. Taking advice from such a player makes a ton of sense. Talib's advice to 'reset' when entering the league and go under Surtain's wing is noteworthy advice for Barron to take. Advertisement With the successful career of Talib, and Surtain's immense success since joining the Broncos, there is plenty of reason for Barron to listen to Talib's advice when it comes to making it to the NFL.

Broncos have 7 cornerbacks signed ahead of free agency
On paper, the Denver Broncos look pretty good at cornerback going into NFL free agency. On one side, the Broncos have reigning Defensive Player of the Year Pat Surtain. Across from him there's Riley Moss, who played well last season before injury. In the slot, Denver has a capable young cornerback in Ja'Quan McMillian. The team's depth at cornerback was tested last season when Moss went down with an injury, but Kris Abrams-Draine showed signs of promise while filling in. This year, the Broncos will likely look to add more depth and competition at the position. Damarri Mathis has a $3.6 million salary cap hit and his status is uncertain. Behind him there's Quinton Newsome and Reese Taylor, who spent most of last season on the practice squad. CB Pat Surtain CB Riley Moss CB Ja'Quan McMillian CB Kris Abrams-Draine CB Damarri Mathis CB Quinton Newsome CB Reese Taylor The NFL's free agency negotiating window will open on Monday and we will track all of Denver's moves on Broncos Wire.
