During a recent conversation on the IMPAULSIVE podcast, NFL legend Tom Brady and WWE star Logan Paul exchanged playful jabs about their athletic abilities, especially concerning their upcoming participation in Saudi Arabia’s flag football league. The discussion quickly turned into a spirited debate over how Paul’s athleticism measures up against elite NFL players.
Brady Questions Paul’s Ability to Match NFL Talent
Brady began the exchange by expressing concern about Paul competing against current professional football stars.
“I’m actually a little worried for you,”
Brady said before acknowledging Paul’s athletic skills but emphasizing the vast gap between him and premier NFL athletes.
“I’m actually a little worried for you, You’re a good athlete- these guys are another level.”?Tom Brady, NFL legend
Taking on his WWE villain persona, Paul confidently declared himself “the highest level.” However, Brady quickly dismissed this claim, naming players like Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson and Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley as superior athletes who would outperform Paul on the field.

“No, you’re not the level. You’re a good athlete,”?Tom Brady, NFL legend
Brady Distinguishes Football from WWE Performance
Paul reminded Brady of his success in WWE, but Brady emphasized the difference between wrestling entertainment and competitive football. He made it clear that while WWE requires skill, the intensity and authenticity of football present a far greater challenge.
“That’s cute. I love WWE, that’s very cute, But honestly, this is real football. This is real competition.”?Tom Brady, NFL legend
Logan Paul’s Rising Role in WWE
Recently, Paul has shifted focus towards his in-ring WWE career, where he thrives as a top antagonist on Monday Night Raw. As part of The Vision faction, he has taken on a leading villain role during Bron Breakker’s recovery from hernia surgery. Paul’s latest high-profile match was his participation in the men’s Royal Rumble in late January.
