As girls flag football is quickly becoming one of the fastest growing sports in the country, Maryland has found itself as the latest state to join in. The announcement came just a few hours before the second round of the NFL Draft kicked off. Ahead of Baltimore's second round pick Friday night, former Ravens running back and 2009 Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram took to the stage alongside current girls flag football players from the state. Ingram took a shoot at Pittsburgh before giving a shoutout to the girls on stage and making announcing the Ravens' pick of Zion Young.Maryland girls flag football athletes take the stage to celebrate it being a sanctioned state championship sport 🙌 @NFLFlagNFL Draft on NFLN/ESPN/ABCStream on @NFLPluspic.twitter.com/6TAvxekxp0— NFL (@NFL) April 25, 2026
