Jake Paul already silenced plenty of doubters by becoming a successful professional boxer, now he thinks he could excel at professional football as well.
During a recent appearance on The Pivot Podcast, Paul made his case to NFL veterans Ryan Clark, Fred Taylor, and Channing Crowder that he could easily make the transition to pro football at the age of 29 if he wanted to. Paul emerged as a popular influencer in the 2010s before turning his attention the world of boxing, where he has put together several high-profile events under his Most Valuable Promotions banner, including headlining fights against boxing legends Mike Tyson and Anthony Joshua, and MMA stars Anderson Silva, Nate Diaz, and Tyron Woodley.
Paul boasted that his athletic prowess would make it easy for him to step onto a football field and perform well.
Paul continued to push this angle on social media on Sunday, writing that “not a single NFL player could last two rounds in a professional boxing ring” and that he could “catch a touchdown pass tomorrow in the NFL with zero training.”

“Okay”Patrick sends me perfect pass and I catch it lol what are we talking about here?
He’s such a fucking moron. It’s painful to know that he’s richer than all of us.
I genuinely hope Hokit accepts Jake’s challenge.
Delusions of grandeur.
Well he’s wearing a Browns’ jersey so he obviously doesn’t know what pro football looks like.
“I see your hustle,” Paul replied. “You do your best to sell. If you want to fly down to Puerto Rico and box—anytime I will gladly embarrass you.”
Looks like Jake is trying to speedrun CTE. I figured getting his jaw wired shut would be enough for him but apparently not.
