Even though we are in the middle of the NFL offseason, the league never seems to lack drama. Yet, some of the most recent news has nothing to do with the game played on the field. Instead, it’s about some former NFL players being called out by WWE star Logan Paul. Paul took to X to offer $1 million to any NFL player who could beat him in a fight.
While some former NFL players tried to take Paul up on the offer, it fell through after he claimed the WWE did not want him to participate in such an event. Despite that, NFL legend Rob Gronkowski spoke his mind on Paul and what he would do to him if they went toe to toe in the ring.
Rob Gronkowski Fires Back at Logan Paul
According to Happy Punch, Paul called out Gronkowski and his brothers, saying, “I beat up all of his brothers, back to back to back, the Gronk’s lined up and I beat them up back to back to back, guess who didn’t step in there, Mr. Gronk himself.”
Gronkowski heard this from Paul and went on the “Up & Adams Show” to announce that he would fight Paul if he so chose to. Gronkowski said, “If Logan Paul wants a piece of me, I’m down to throw it down on the field… I’ll whoop his a**.”
Gronkowski mentioned the Fanatics Flag Football Classic, which will take place on March 21 in Los Angeles. Both he and Paul will be participating in that event, and Gronkowski seems more than happy to fight Paul on that day.
“If Logan Paul wants a piece of me, I’m down to throw it down on the field… I’ll whoop his ass.”

This is not the first time we have seen Paul try to fight other athletes. He had a high-profile exhibition bout with legendary boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. in 2021.
While Paul has competed in professional boxing bouts, he is primarily an entertainer and promoter, and he knows that the more trash you talk, the more people will be interested in a fight.
Even though Paul claimed the WWE would not allow him to participate in a fight, if he can find a way around that, he will likely have many former players who would take him up on the offer.
