- NFL Le'Veon Bell roasts Logan Paul: 'Biggest duck ever' after fight fallout
Rob Gronkowski delivered a blunt warning to Logan Paul after the social media star suggested he could defeat NFL players in a fight, escalating one of the offseason's most unusual cross-sport feuds.
Speaking Tuesday during an appearance on Up & Adams, the former tight end responded directly to Paul's recent challenges, which included offers of cash incentives for boxing matches against football players.
"I broke necks. I laid out defensive ends. I pummeled safeties. No one can tackle me," Gronkowski said, referencing his playing career.
If Logan Paul wants a piece of me, I'm down to throw it down on the field ... I'll whoop his *ss.
Paul has spent recent weeks stirring debate across the NFL community by claiming he could beat professional football players in combat sports settings, prompting reactions from both current and former athletes and turning the exchange into a viral talking point.
Gronkowski's numbers back him up
Rob Gronkowski's response carries added credibility given his decorated NFL résumé. Drafted by the New England Patriots in 2010, he became one of the most dominant tight ends of his era, later adding another championship run with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Gronk's NFL career highlights include:
- 621 receptions
- 9,286 receiving yards
- 92 touchdowns
- Four Super Bowl titles
- Five Pro Bowl selections
- Four First-Team All-Pro honors
Since retiring, Gronkowski has remained a prominent public figure through broadcasting, endorsements, and entertainment appearances, including professional wrestling - a space Paul now occupies as a WWE performer alongside his boxing ventures.
Will any promoter take Logan's bait?
Paul, who first rose to fame on YouTube before transitioning into boxing and sports entertainment, has built a reputation for crossover events that blend athletics and entertainment, often fueled by viral trash talk.
For now, the exchange remains verbal, but with Paul continuing to challenge athletes publicly and NFL personalities willing to respond, speculation is growing that promoters could eventually attempt to turn the rivalry into a real event.
