A current flag football star quarterback believes he’s a better fit to lead Team USA in the 2028 Olympics than Patrick Mahomes … and he tells TMZ Sports the only way he’ll think otherwise is if the three-time Super Bowl champion proves it to him on the field.
The confident signal-caller’s name is Darrell “Housh” Doucette … a 35-year-old righty who helped lead the U.S. national flag football team to gold at the 2022 World Games.
If his name sounds familiar … it’s because earlier this week, he made national headlines — when he claimed it was “disrespectful” that a lot of NFL stars are currently believing they can displace some flag footballers and go for gold on their own at the Los Angeles Games in four years.
Doucette told us in an interview Tuesday he feels his words were a bit misconstrued … and all he was trying to say was he simply wants NFLers to have to try out and earn their spots on flag rosters — just like he did.

That being said, though, he did say he’s sure he’s better suited to lead the U.S. flag squad in ’28 than Mahomes is.
“At the end of the day,” Doucette told us, “I feel like I’m better than Patrick Mahomes because of my IQ of the game.”
