"I wanna go to the NFL after this" - Jake Paul says he wants to play for the Cleveland Browns after boxing
Jake Paul's persistent callouts of MMA fighters are enough to suggest that his fighting career is far from over. However, once he decides to hang up his gloves, the YouTuber turned boxer would like to have a crack at playing in the NFL.
'The Problem Child' is confident that his toughness and skills as a boxer can translate onto the football field. During a recent appearance on his brother Logan's Impaulsive podcast, Jake Paul said:
"I wanna go to NFL after this. Like legitimately, just to play like safety and just deck people. I swear to God, I'm about to bring hella ratings to whatever team I'm on."
When asked which NFL team he would like to join if given a choice, Paul responded:
"Would you have ever thought that I would play for the Cleveland Browns? No, right? That would be crazy. I could run a 4.34. I have the size, I have the power, I can knock people out with one punch. So why can't I play free safety?"
