Logan Paul, known for his WWE career and boxing exhibitions, recently declared his readiness to face current or former NFL players in the ring. During the latest episode of his Impaulsive podcast, Paul hinted at potentially trading punches with Tom Brady during their upcoming flag football event. He said,
“I wouldn’t be surprised if I throw hands with Tom Brady on the field,”
highlighting his competitive mindset (comments at 29:01 mark).
Rivalries and Challenges with NFL Players
Beyond Brady, Paul has openly expressed a rivalry with Rob Gronkowski, Brady’s former teammate with the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He boldly claimed that no football player could defeat him in a boxing match and specifically targeted Myles Garrett, the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, stating,
“Not a single football player could beat me in a boxing match… I would throttle Myles Garrett.”
Paul is willing to put $1 million on the line in any boxing bout with willing NFL opponents. He even revealed private messages from NFL players who appear interested in stepping into the ring with him.
Comparing Boxing Experience and Physical Challenges
Although Logan Paul is less experienced than his younger brother Jake Paul, who owns a professional record of 12-2 and has defeated several MMA fighters, Logan’s boxing background includes a 2021 exhibition against Floyd Mayweather and a professional fight versus influencer KSI. Still, Paul’s transition from WWE to facing well-built NFL stars like the 6’4”, 272-pound Myles Garrett represents a significant challenge.
Potential Outcomes and Future Prospects
Logan Paul’s challenge to NFL players such as Myles Garrett adds an intriguing crossover between football and combat sports. Should a high-profile match materialize, it could draw considerable attention from fans of both sports. For Paul, facing athletes of Garrett’s caliber might test his skills more than previous opponents. The possibility of millionaire boxing wagers with NFL stars further raises stakes in this growing trend of athlete showdowns outside their conventional arenas.
