Rob Gronkowski has turned up the heat on Logan Paul by warning him what can happen when trash talk carries onto a football field.
The former New England Patriots tight end was responding after Paul dragged his name into the growing NFL boxing feud.
Now Gronkowski wants the issue settled in person when both men appear at the Fanatics Flag Football Classic in Los Angeles.
Rob Gronkowski warns Logan Paul ahead of March 21 flag football game
The Up & Adams Show carried Gronkowski’s response after Logan Paul kept talking about current and former NFL players.
“If Logan Paul wants a piece of me, we’re both playing in the flag football game on March 21 in LA. And I can tell you this, the last time players talked trash to me on a football field, I threw someone out of the club.
“I broke necks, I laid out defensive ends, I pummeled safeties,” Gronkowski reminded Paul.
The timing matters because this is no longer just online back and forth.
Gronkowski and Paul are both expected to be at the same event, which gives the feud a real stage after days of escalating shots from both sides.
For Gronkowski, the point was simple. If Paul wants to talk like that, then he can deal with him face to face on the field.
Rob Gronkowski’s response came after Logan Paul’s $1m NFL challenge
That reaction did not come out of nowhere. Paul recently claimed no current or former NFL player could beat him in a boxing match, then attached a $1 million price tag to the challenge.
Le’Veon Bell quickly took him up on it, but the fight then fell apart after Paul said WWE would not let him risk getting hurt in an exhibition bout.
“No one can tackle me. So if Logan Paul wants a piece of me, I’m down to throw it down on the field and even throw my fist and just go at it, an all-out brawl on the flag football field. I don’t care.
“It’s flag football, and it’s a family event. I will fight him on the field if he wants to fight me right there and then in the flag football. No problem,” Gronkowski concluded.
That is why Gronkowski sounded so irritated. From his point of view, Paul was happy to call out football players when it suited him, but far less eager once one of them actually accepted.
Now Gronkowski has offered a different kind of test, one that would put the two of them in the same place with a lot of eyes watching.
