Did Doucette Play College Football?​

Doucette’s journey to the national flag football team was anything but traditional. He sharpened his skills and developed a strong foundation of discipline and dedication through his participation in intramural and adult leagues at New Orleans’ Xavier University.

Arnt we already watching almost Flag football these days anyway?

You're not wrong.

Kam said it 10 years ago: "They're trying to turn it into like a flag football thing."

Can't remember the player, but there was a RB who toasted his knee playing a game on the beach. He was never the same. Someone gets a huge season ending injury in a flag football game? No thx

Update: just found it......

20 years later, Robert Edwards’ injury still a fresh wound

In 1999, the outstanding rookie suffered a career-changing knee injury.

To be fair, that game was played on sand, which was just a terrible idea to begin with.

Yep

Imagine being a professional athlete and tearing your ACL in flag football... Probably shouldn't be in the NFL at that point

But it is a money game.. all about the stars

Lets be fair.. the skill set is.. kinda the same.. but the rules arent.. so why would NFL Tackling players grasp it as quick as people who are use to not being touched adn avoiding hand g rabs?

I’d like to an all star flag team play a game against NFL players. Then we could see if it actually is that much of a different sport. I’d guess in defense grabbing the flag is quite different to tackling, so it would not surprise me if Flag pros are better defenders.
