YouTuber and professional boxer Jake Paul said he has spoken with a couple of NFL teams and coaches who are interested in adding him to their roster. Paul made the comments in an interview with Front Office Sports.
“I have a couple of teams and coaches that I’ve already talked to that are interested in bringing me onto the team,” Paul said. He also stated, “There is a lot of super mediocrity in the NFL. A lot of not good athletes.”
Paul has previously expressed interest in playing professional football. He has mentioned a preference for the Cleveland Browns as his favorite team. In earlier comments, he discussed the possibility of playing as a slot receiver. He also talked about potentially joining a college football program first, including interest in Stanford, before any move to the NFL.
Paul built his career first as a content creator and later as a boxer. He has competed in multiple high profile boxing matches. His comments about NFL interest come as he continues his boxing career while exploring other opportunities in sports.
No NFL team has publicly confirmed any discussions or offers regarding Paul. The remarks remain based on Paul’s own statements in the interview. The Cleveland Browns and other teams have not issued any official responses on the matter.
Paul’s comments were shared widely across social media platforms following the Front Office Sports interview. The discussion centers on his claims of contact with teams and coaches as well as his view of the current talent level across NFL rosters.
Paul continues to balance his boxing schedule with public comments about potential future paths in sports.
