Jake Paul, the NFL player?
The 29-year-old boxer claimed that some teams have already reached out to him about bringing him in.
« I have a couple of teams and coaches that I’ve already talked to that are interested in bringing me onto the team. It’s really going to be quite easy, » Paul told Front Office Sports.

Paul said there is a lot of mediocrity in the NFL and believes he is a better athlete than most of the current players.
« I think there is a lot of super mediocrity in the NFL. A lot of not good athletes. Lot of people dropping passes on a consistent basis. I have better hands than them, I’m faster than them, I’m stronger than them, I work harder than them, » Paul said.
« Really, all it’s going to take is just me after boxing practicing some routes. »

Paul compared the mockery he has received for his NFL aspirations to the reaction he received when he began boxing.
« I mean, it’s pretty simple. Just like when I started boxing, it’s funny to see the tweet-and-deleters out there, the nonbelievers, the naysayers, » Paul said.
When asked if he wanted to play for a specific team, the Cleveland native picked his hometown team.
« I mean I’d love to go to the Cleveland Browns, been a Browns fan my whole entire life. My mom is a diehard Browns fan and I think they could use some good receivers over there. No. 17, Browns, reserve the jersey now. »
