Initially sparking this exchange, Logan Paul questioned Brady's athletic prowess during an episode of Paul's "Impaulsive" podcast. He stated candidly,
"If you put me and Tom Brady up athletically against one another in a majority of sports, I bet I'd be more athletic."In response, the seven-time Super Bowl champion did not hold back. During a discussion about WWE translating to football skills, Brady skeptically remarked,
"I'm actually a little worried for you. You're a good athlete, but these guys are on another level. It's cute. I love WWE. It's very cute. But, honestly, this is like real football, real competition."
Paul quickly countered Brady’s less-than-flattering takeaway about wrestling with another jab.
"He used the word 'cute' when talking about the WWE. I think in many ways football is also cute because I'm a boxer and you can put most NFL players and basketball players in a ring and they'll get their asses kicked by real boxers,"said Paul.
This battle of words highlights an intriguing crossover between sports that both challenge preconceived notions of athleticism and skill levels across different professional fields. Although Logan acknowledged NFL players as top-tier athletes compared to WWE superstars when Paul also said,
"I think all around most NFL players are better athletes than most WWE superstars"He remained skeptical about role swapping ease among diverse sports roles.
"Every sport at the highest level takes an insane level of dedication and specificity and skill set that you can't quite translate or copy and paste one into the other,"he added.
