The Philadelphia Eagles might be in their offseason, but that doesn’t mean Saquon Barkley isn’t still unleashing his athletic abilities on the football field.
He’s currently among those involved in Tom Brady’s big Fanatics Flag Football Classic, which features mostly NFL stars and some other athletes competing in a game to be televised on Fox. Among the other competitors are major football stars, including Brady, Jalen Hurts, Joe Burrow, Rob Gronkowski, and Barkley.
Also participating in the event is WWE star and social media influencer, Logan Paul, who has been known to pull off some unbelievable moves in his matches, in what’s been a very quick acclimation to the ring.
However, Paul is well known as a heel who embraces trash talking, and he did plenty to help Brady promote the event, including calling out NFL stars to fight him. That never happened, and now he may be exposed in a sport he doesn’t normally play.

During practice for the upcoming game, various highlight clips emerged, including Paul impressively picking off a Joe Burrow throw to record an interception.
However, the Eagles also shared a video featuring their guy, Barkley, pulling off a juke move on Paul to surge past him on the field. In the clip, Paul is giving chase for a few moments until the running back shows him what true football talent is.
Others can be heard and seen laughing at what transpires as Paul says, “That sucks.” The clip includes “Logan Paul getting juked by Saquon Barkley” as a text overlay.
“Well, there’s a sentence we never thought we’d be saying,” the Eagles social media shared on X (formerly Twitter).
“Please get that clown away from my team,” a commenter demanded in a reply to the Eagles.
Others replied, “why is he on the field with real athletes?” and “And Logan Paul said he was more of an athlete than football players.”
Paul engaged in plenty of trash talking leading up to the event, mostly to help capture attention through his social media presence. Several non-sanctioned boxing matches with former NFL stars were set in motion, but Paul shared a video of a phone call from WWE, claiming they asked him not to participate in those fights.
The Fanatics Flag Football Classic will appear on Fox at 4 p.m. Eastern Time. Three teams, two of which were recently drafted, compete in a round-robin tournament to crown the winner.
Paul is part of Team Wildcats, and Barkley is among his teammates, so he won’t have to worry about him juking him during the actual game. However, other teams feature stars like Ashton Jeanty, Alvin Kamara, and Stefon Diggs, who are certainly capable of putting big moves on their opponents.
