Jake Paul says multiple NFL teams are interested in signing him after boxing, and he wants to find a home with the Cleveland Browns.
“I have a couple of teams and coaches that I’ve already talked to that are interested in bringing me onto the team,” Paul said during an interview with Front Office Sports.
The 29-year-old said he would want to line up at wide receiver, despite not playing organized football since high school.
“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 me, after boxing, practicing some routes.”
He added, “It’s really going to be quite easy.”
For Paul, joining the Browns would be personal. He grew up supporting the team alongside his mother.
“I’ve been a Browns fan my whole entire life. My mom is a die-hard Browns fan, and I think they could use some good receivers over there,” he said.
Anthony Joshua knocked Paul down four times before stopping him in the sixth round of their December bout. Paul suffered two fractures in his jaw and underwent surgery that included titanium plates and the removal of several teeth. He later required another procedure as his recovery continued.
The loss dropped Paul’s professional boxing record to 12-2.
