Brady challenges Logan Paul to ‘play with the big boys’

Tension between the pair has increased since their Super Bowl week conversation. During that discussion, Tom Brady questioned claims about elite athletic ability despite Logan Paul saying he played football in school.

Brady later delivered a blunt response while working out alongside former teammate Rob Gronkowski in a video that circulated widely online.

“Logan Paul’s a b—-. Just say he’s a b—-. Come play with the big boys, you’re lucky you won’t get hit.”

The remark added another chapter to the ongoing back-and-forth between the retired quarterback and the WWE personality.

Brady appeared to question whether Paul belongs in discussions surrounding professional-level athleticism.

Rivalry builds ahead of Fanatics Flag Football Classic

The exchange has attracted attention as both figures prepare for the Fanatics Flag Football Classic in Saudi Arabia later this month.

The event is expected to include several well-known NFL players along with celebrity participants.

What began as podcast banter has gradually evolved into sharper comments between the two public figures.

Paul previously maintained that his athleticism belongs among the top competitors, while Brady disputed that claim.

Despite the heated tone, the matchup itself will take place in a flag football format rather than a full-contact contest. Even so, the rivalry has already increased interest in the upcoming event.
