This month, Fanatics and former NFL quarterback and future Hall of Famer Tom Brady are hosting a 5v5 flag football event filled with celebrities and players. Flag football has become a major part of the NFL in recent years. The Pro Bowl is now a flag football game, and the sport will debut at the 2028 Summer Olympics.
Tom Brady Trash Talks Joe Burrow During Fanatics Flag Football Draft
With the sport becoming so popular, an offseason event from Brady and Fanatics could be very exciting for viewers. For the flag football event, the draft was held on Wednesday, March 18, to determine the rosters, and Brady had some words for Joe Burrow there.
For the event, three teams will compete: two comprising NFL players and celebrities, and the U.S. Men’s National Team.
The games will be very interesting to see how former and current NFL players compete against flag football players who are set to compete for the country in the Olympics.
The two teams being drafted were Team Founders and Team Wildcats. Team Founders is captained by Brady and Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, while Team Wildcats’ captains are former LSU quarterbacks Jayden Daniels and Burrow.
With how competitive all four of these players are, words were exchanged that were less than positive. During the draft, Brady made some comments toward Burrow. In the video below, Brady said to Burrow, “At least he’s here, no fashion shows to attend to?”

Brady, known as one of the most competitive athletes ever, had to roast Burrow whenever he had the chance. The comment about the fashion show was a reference to Burrow’s appearance in a fashion show last offseason alongside former LSU teammate Justin Jefferson.

Clearly, this event is not lacking in competitive nature, and just looking at the rosters, anyone can see that.
Time will tell who leaves victorious, but no matter what, this is going to be a really fun event for NFL fans to tune in to. It is set to start on Saturday, March 21, at 4 p.m. EST.
