Still think flag football is just for kids? Catches like this one will make you change your mind

Still think flag football is just for kids? Catches like this one will make you change your mind

Flag football? Not enough like what they play on Sundays? Get that thought out of your head. Flag Football is here - with teams built for every athlete - playing at every skill level around the country.

That is how Josiah Johnson, a former Nicholls State DB - who could be trying to play on Sundays - ended up making this one-handed touchdown catch in a flag football game.

Whether he knows it or not, USA Football coaches who are in charge of selecting the Men's National Flag Football team might see that. My guess is Josiah will get a nudge to try out for the team.

You can actually try out for the Olympic flag football team right here on GMTM. If you didn't know that, you should check out the USA Football Digital Combine right now.

Or you can watch more videos Josiah uploaded to the platform this week.
