Nevertheless, Paul pushed back on Brady’s comments by reminding him of his own high school football background, where he played linebacker effectively.
Despite Paul’s confidence, Brady downplayed the former WWE star’s chances, noting that even his seven Super Bowl victories might not guarantee success in this unique flag football setting. Recently, Logan Paul responded with a pointed remark that sparked further tension between the two.
