“They’re great athletes. Logan Paul isn’t really a great athlete. I’m just kidding!” Brady he said with a smile. “Actually, it is. I saw him do a backflip today. But he literally called out the NFL players and I had all these guys coming to me, saying, ‘I’m going to f*ck,’ and I said, ‘Guys, calm down. We’re not committing any crimes against Logan Paul.’
The fight started when Brady and Paul spoke on the radio ahead of the Fanatics Flag Football Classic during Super Bowl week.
Brady and the WWE superstar chatted about the game.
“I’m actually a little worried about you. You’re a good athlete, but it’s like… These guys are on another level,” Brady said of his NFL compatriots. “You’re not up to par. You’re a good athlete.”

TOM BRADY WON LOGAN PAUL CASE WITH A CLEAR HIT
“This is sweet. I love WWE. It’s sweet. But honestly, it’s like real football. It’s a real rivalry,” Brady added.
Paul later posted a video showing how high he could jump, comparing himself to Barkley leaping over defenders en route to a Super Bowl title against the Philadelphia Eagles in 2024.
Brady later called Paul a “b—h” while he was practicing with Rob Gronkowski, who would also appear in the game.
Paul then went further and challenged any NFL player to a boxing match. He said he was willing to risk $1 million. Former NFL star Le’Veon Bell was eager to challenge Paul, but any hopes that the YouTuber would fight an NFL player were seemingly quickly dashed.
