Jake Paul could have his next adventure lined up when his boxing career ends: the NFL.

Paul recently told Front Office Sports he has aspirations of playing on the gridiron one day and has already talked to a few teams about it.

“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 said.

As for why he thinks it would be easy, the social media influencer, who grew up playing football, said he’s a better athlete than most of the players in the NFL.

He believes he’s faster, stronger and works harder than them.

He also said that he has better hands than a lot of receivers, citing the amount of drops during games.

“Really all it’s going to take is me after boxing practicing some routes,” he said.

Paul added that he’s proved the haters wrong before, mentioning that most people didn’t believe in his boxing career after years of making YouTube videos.

“I mean, it’s pretty simple. Just like when I started boxing, it’s funny to see the tweets and deleters out there, the non-believers, the naysayers, shoutout to Drake,” Paul said.

Paul did not list any of the teams that he’s talked with, but did say he’d be open to joining the Browns because he’s a life-long fan and he thinks “they could use some good receivers over there.”

The Browns made over their receiving room this offseason by adding two highly touted rookies in KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston.

Paul’s claim that the NFL is easy, come just a few months after his brother, Logan, challenged any NFL player to a fight.

Also a social media influencer, Logan was responding to legendary quarterback Tom Brady calling him a b—h.

“I would throttle Myles Garrett. It could be any name. Any football player, Myles Garrett, Puka Nakua, Tom Brady, Rob [Gronkowski], Sam Darnold,” Logan said.

“(For) $1 million, come to the gym, put on boxing gloves and let’s see how it goes. I will throw up my hands.”

Brady and Logan recently made headlines again during Fanatics Fest when the former Patriot slapped Logan while on stage.
