Jake Paul claims multiple NFL teams have reached out, says there is a lot of 'mediocrity' in football

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.”

As a boxer, Paul is 12-2 and most recently fought in December 2025. In that fight, Paul was defeated by Anthony Joshua by sixth-round knockout.

Despite suffering a double broken jaw in that fight, Paul said during a recent appearance on ESPN’s “The Pat McAfee Show” that if the check is big enough, he will fight again.
