The feud between Logan Paul and NFL legend Tom Brady continues to grow, with the WWE star firing back at Brady's recent harsh remarks.
Just recently, the seven-time Super Bowl champion appeared briefly in a video with his friend and former teammate, Rob Gronkowski, as they were training outdoors for the upcoming flag football event in Saudi Arabia. Gronk praised Paul in the video as an entertainer and for his abilities in combat sports, including impressive in-ring skills in WWE.
However, Brady didn't hesitate to refer to Paul as a "b****" several times when he made remarks about him in the viral video. That's prompted a response from Paul, who also dropped a bold claim on the retired NFL great.

"I wouldn't be surprised if I throw hands with Tom Brady," Paul told his "IMPAULSIVE" co-star in a recent video, also referring to the clip that's out there with Brady's harsh name-calling.
After mentioning that he beat up all of Gronk's brothers one by one and Gronk never stepped in, Paul issued a bold challenge to Brady and his NFL cohorts for their upcoming flag football game.
"If any of the football players want to fight, we can see what happens," the social media influencer suggested, later clarifying, "Not a single football player could beat me in a boxing match."
That included his co-star suggesting that NFL Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett could be tough to take down in a fight.
"I would throttle Myles Garrett. Come to the gym and let's see how it goes. I will throw hands with any of you motherf***ers," Paul said.
Paul also name-dropped Los Angeles Rams star Puka Nacua in his rant and Super Bowl-winning quarterback Sam Darnold from the Seattle Seahawks as potential opponents.
"A million dollars. You come to the gym. We put on boxing gloves. We see how it goes," he said, adding, "There's levels to this."
The heated trash talk is part of an ongoing feud involving the two athletes ahead of this month's Fanatics Flag Football Classic in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Brady's leading the way for the March 21 event, with Gronk also a participant, along with other football stars, including Saquon Barkley, CeeDee Lamb, Christian McCaffrey, Sauce Gardner, Myles Garrett, and Maxx Crosby.
In addition to the game featuring pro football players, it will also feature "world-class athletes" like WWE's Logan Paul, who seems ready to fight, if necessary.
Their comments, while seeming harsh, are playful as they seek viral attention ahead of the upcoming event. Still, it would be entertaining to watch if any of the football stars take Paul up on that million-dollar fight challenge and try to drop him in a boxing match.
