Reporters Clash at Combine Over Brady-Stafford Meeting

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network and Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports were involved in a verbal confrontation at a Starbucks in the JW Marriott, Indianapolis, during the NFL Scouting Combine. The altercation stemmed from conflicting reports about a meeting between Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford and Raiders minority owner Tom Brady. Schultz claimed the meeting was part of a recruitment effort, while Rapoport downplayed it as a chance encounter. Witnesses reported that Schultz approached Rapoport insisting they needed to talk, leading to a heated exchange that prompted NFL Security to take statements from witnesses. Both reporters later minimized the incident, with Schultz stating it was a brief confrontation. Tensions remain high between the two, leaving uncertainty about whether this was a one-time incident or the start of a larger feud.
