Tom Brady fired back at Logan Paul after the YouTuber claimed he was on the same athletic level as NFL stars during a heated exchange on Impaulsive ahead of their Fanatics flag football game in Saudi Arabia.
Brady appeared on the to promote the March 21 event, which will feature NFL talent including Saquon Barkley and Justin Jefferson. What started as light promotion quickly turned competitive when Paul suggested he could hold his own at the highest level.
The moment began when Paul brought up the upcoming Fanatics Flag Football Classic in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on March 21, 2026. Team captains include Tom Brady, Nick Bosa, and Travis Kelce. WWE star Logan Paul and internet personality IShowSpeed are also confirmed to compete, with comedian Kevin Hart hosting.
Logan Paul claims he is “the level” during heated exchange
“Last thing I’ll ask you. I’m told that I’m being flown out to Saudi Arabia to compete in a Fanatics flag football game with you,” Logan said.
Brady responded bluntly. “Yeah. You know what? I’m actually a little worried for you because I know… well, you’re a good athlete, but these guys are another level.”
Logan immediately pushed back. “I am the highest level. I am the level.”
“No, you’re not the level,” Brady replied.
When Logan referenced his athletic background, Brady shut it down by comparing him to current NFL superstars.
“You’re a good athlete, but honestly, when I’m thinking of Saquon Barkley and I’m thinking of like…” Brady said, before Logan interrupted with, “Bro, can Justin Jefferson flip off the top rope?”
“It’s cute. It’s a great show. I love WWE. It’s very cute,” Brady answered. “But honestly, this is like real football. This is real competition.”
Logan then cited his high school resume. “I was a all state linebacker. I rushed for 1,200 yards, 19 touchdowns my senior year.”
Brady responded by reframing the conversation around the upcoming game. “Well, let’s see if you can still bring it. I mean, look, we all had a great past. I had one too. I won seven Super Bowls. Who gives a sh*t. You know what matters? This game March 21st in Saudi. I’m glad you’re going to be there and I’m glad you’re finally going to participate in like a competition that matters.”
When Logan realized they might be teammates, the tone shifted slightly.
“Really? Well, then I’m going to feed you because you’re going to be. Have you been working on your routes?” Brady asked.
Logan admitted he had not, before referencing Brady’s famous 28 to 3 Super Bowl comeback.
Brady made it clear he expects intensity regardless. “Look, I’m focused and I want us to win. And if you’re on my team, then look, we’re going to be best friends, bro.”
After the episode aired, Brady took to X to double down on his stance.
“I hope people understand the level of competition this game is going to be. If you’re on my team you’re going to be locked in, all out, and we’re going to not just win… but dominate,” he wrote. “I do think [Logan Paul] has the right attitude and the effort will be there. How far that gets him will remain to be seen.”
In a follow-up post, Brady joked, “I was having a great morning and now I’m mad.”
The exchange has already gone viral across social media, with fans debating whether Paul can back up his claims when he lines up alongside NFL talent in Saudi Arabia next month.
