Looking ahead on to the future, ‘Primetime’s’ youngest son has set some topics straight. Football is his job and is not willing to compromise it, not even in pursue for a gold medal.
“No, because [I] could get injured. I don’t like that, you just had a full season,“ Shedeur admitted on his thoughts of joining the USA Flag Football team during the 2028 Olympics.
Many NFL players confessed their willingness to represent the star sprangled banner during the next Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
