Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles attended the 2017 Super Bowl Opening Night in Houston on Monday, interviewing players as a correspondent for Inside Edition.

Naturally, the 4-foot-9 gymnast spoke with NFL players who are much, much taller.

Here's a photo of Biles interviewing Falcons tight end Levine Toilolo, Atlanta's tallest player.

But Biles' stardom was certainly unaffected by her height. Rather, Biles was quite the celebrity on Monday night, posing for pictures and chatting with tons of NFL players, who appear to be pretty big fans.

Pretty cool getting the chance to speak with US Olympian and all around boss @Simone_Biles https://t.co/vkqQNzrmQx

Biles biggest fanboy of the night, however, might be New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. The NFL legend and three-time Super Bowl MVP congratulated Biles on her Olympic achievements, calling her the G.O.A.T. (Greatest of All Time).

Brady sees @Simone_Biles and says, "There's the GOAT right there. ... Congratulations. You're amazing."

Coming from a guy a four-time Super Bowl champion, widely considered the G.O.A.T. of the NFL, that's high praise.
