Sean Payton Anticipates Coaching Tom Brady in International Flag Football Tournament

Sean Payton, head coach of the Denver Broncos, recently discussed the exciting opportunity to coach Tom Brady and other notable NFL stars during the upcoming Fanatics Flag Football Classic scheduled for March 2024.

Brady is making a return to the gridiron in a new capacity as he joins a talented roster of current and former NFL players for the international competition in Saudi Arabia. The event will feature a three-team flag football tournament, showcasing the sport’s growing prominence.

Leading Stars Unite for a Unique Competition

The Fanatics Flag Football Classic will be a highly anticipated event where Brady will team up with other NFL stars such as Saquon Barkley, CeeDee Lamb, Christian McCaffrey, Maxx Crosby, and Rob Gronkowski. This prestigious tournament will take place on March 21 at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh.

Payton expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “I had gotten a text from Tom, and he was explaining what the tournament was. I looked at the calendar; it’s a vacation week. I don’t travel much. More importantly, it’s significant for growing our game with the Olympics approaching. There are three teams playing one day in a round-robin format, followed by a championship game.”
