Logan Paul has responded after Tom Brady questioned whether he belongs anywhere near elite NFL athletes.
The exchange began during a recent podcast appearance and quickly gained attention online.
Brady compared Paul to some of the league’s biggest stars and used a word that stood out: “cute.”
The seven-time Super Bowl winner suggested the WWE star was not on that level. Paul has now answered in his own way.

He captioned the post with a direct nod to Brady’s earlier remark. “The NFL is cute, Tom Brady.”

The response echoed the same word Brady had used when questioning his athletic level. Rather than appearing defensive, Paul framed it as competitive banter.
Brady’s original comments came while discussing the upcoming Fanatics flag football game in Saudi Arabia. He made it clear that the event would not be treated lightly.
“I hope people understand the level of competition this game is going to be. If you’re on my team, you’re going to be locked in, all out, and we’re going to not just win… but dominate.”
