Tom Brady Praises Logan Paul After Heated Flag Football Showdown

NFL icon Tom Brady praised influencer and WWE star Logan Paul following their competitive clash at the Fanatics Flag Football Classic in Los Angeles on March 21, 2026.

Despite on-field tension and a public feud leading up to the game, Brady acknowledged Paul’s serious approach and work ethic during the postgame press conference.

"He impressed me out there," Brady said. "I have respect for people that are really driven to succeed... you don’t wait for things to happen, you make it happen."

Brady’s Founders FFC team fell 43-16 to the U.S. National Flag Football Team, which also defeated Joe Burrow’s squad earlier in the tournament. The event highlighted growing interest in flag football ahead of its Olympic debut at the 2028 Los Angeles Games.

Paul, playing for Wildcats FFC, trained intensively for the game-earning rare praise from the seven-time Super Bowl champion.
