Logan Paul says 99% of NFL players would ‘s–t the bed’ in WWE
Logan Paul compared WWE wrestlers to NFL players in a recent interview.
Paul is set to take part in the Fanatics Flag Football Classic in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on March 21, 2026. The event will feature past and current NFL players, such as Tom Brady. Brady was a guest on Paul’s podcast earlier this week, during which Paul announced that he would be playing in the event.
Sports Illustrated published an interview with Paul on Friday in which he discussed his conversation with Brady and the upcoming flag football tournament.
“I was going back and forth with Tom Brady and we’re talking about athleticism and what it takes to be an athlete. And so funny, Tom Brady talking to me about being an athlete. Bro, the worst NFL Combine of all time,” Paul said, referring to Brady’s performance at the 2000 combine. “Okay, you won seven Super Bowls. It’s like, seven Super Bowls, six Super Bowls, six seven Super Bowls. It doesn’t matter how many Super Bowls you won, how many United States titles have you won? How many subscribers do you have on YouTube? What’s your net worth?”
“If you put any of the WWE Superstars on the roster, including the women, on an NFL team, they would do bare minimum, all right, because these people are athletes,” Paul continued. “If you plucked 99 percent of NFL athletes from the team and put them in a WWE ring, they would s**t the bed. They would not be able to do it. It is the hardest thing in the world to do.”
The Fanatics Flag Football Classic will air on Fox Sports and Tubi and will be hosted by comedian Kevin Hart. The event will be formatted as a three-team tournament.
Paul also discussed his lifelong obsession with Pokemon, signing a full-time contract with WWE, and more during the interview, which is available in its entirety here.
