Jake Paul makes his pick between Patrick Mahomes' Chiefs, Jalen Hurts' Eagles for Super Bowl LVII
Jake Paul has made himself a household in the boxing ring and is proud to be from Cleveland, Ohio. He's a huge fan of his Cleveland Browns and was recently asked on Instagram who he likes in Super Bowl LVIII. Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs will face Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles in the game. The boxing sensation answered the question, choosing the Chiefs.
In the Instagram story, Paul chose the Chiefs because of their four-time All-Pro tight end Travis Kelce. Kelce is from Westlake, Ohio, which is four hours away from Cleveland. The tight end stayed in Ohio to play college football, attending the University of Cincinnati. This season's Super Bowl matchup will have history as it will be the first time two Black quarterbacks will start.
However, Paul and rapper Rick Ross placed a million-dollar bet on the Miami Dolphins to make it to Super Bowl LVII in December. On the "BS with Jake Paul" podcast, Paul and Ross reached an agreement on the massive bet. Needless to say, both lost their money as the Dolphins were eliminated in the wild-card round of the playoffs.
For Jake Paul, his love for his home city led to a unique opportunity with his hometown Cleveland Browns.
Jake Paul signed with the Cleveland Browns as a player ... sort of
Paul signed a contract with the Cleveland Browns last December. A video on the YouTuber’s various social media platforms showed him standing next to JW Johnson, the Browns’ executive vice president, who was holding a “J Paul, 00” jersey.
In a short video of himself on a video call with Johnson, Paul spoke of his excitement of joining the Browns.
“Excited to be on the team. This is a dream come true," Paul said. "I won’t let you down.”
In a post on the Browns’ Instagram channel, Paul could be seen signing a deal to become the team's junior associate content assistant. He pretended to believe that he was there to sign onto the franchise's roster. If the Browns make it to the Super Bowl, Paul could see himself possibly playing for his hometown deal.
