Logan Paul pulls off big interception of Joe Burrow ahead of flag football event

WWE star Logan Paul is known for achieving some impressive moves in the wrestling ring, and now he's shown even more of his athletic abilities against NFL competition. Paul is competing in this weekend's Fanatics Flag Football Classic, which he and NFL legend Tom Brady have been fiercely promoting heavily since the Super Bowl. The two have engaged in plenty of trash-talking in the build-up to the event, and Paul has even called out NFL stars to fights, which never occurred. All of that will culminate with this weekend's event, featuring other NFL stars, including Brady's former teammate Rob Gronkowski, and former opponents like Davante Adams, Jalen Hurts, and Joe Burrow. During a recent practice session, the Cincinnati Bengals QB, Burrow, realized that he may have some work to do with his passing, as Paul surprisingly picked him off. A video clip is making the rounds on social media featuring a shirtless Paul showing off some impressive speed and defensive skills against one of the NFL's well-known Pro Bowl receivers. In the short highlight from practice at BMO Stadium, Burrow attempts to throw a long touchdown pass to Adams. However, Paul quickly darts across the field and in front of Adams, jumping up to pick off the ball for an interception. While it's a practice and doesn't mean anything in terms of game results, it drew "oohs," "ahs," and other surprised reactions from those watching the play unfold. Paul, 30, has never competed in the NFL, but his athletic abilities make him seem capable of being among the competitors in the sport. He's also crafted an impressive physique as he's spent a lot of time bulking up to look the part and perform in the ring for WWE. The professional wrestling company will host its WrestleMania 42 in April, with Las Vegas, Nevada, hosting the event. Paul isn't officially on the card yet, but it would be surprising if he's not. First, he'll try to get a real in-game interception against the competition this weekend at Saturday's Fanatics Flag Football Classic, airing on Fox at 4 p.m. Eastern Time. While it's still only flag football, and most NFL players are used to more physical play, Paul seemingly put his opponents on notice to watch for him in the games. Three teams will compete in a round-robin tournament at this weekend's event. In addition to two teams drafted by Tom Brady/Jalen Hurts and Joe Burrow/Jayden Daniels, a third team is the United States men's national flag football team.
