Jake Paul Claims That MULTIPLE Teams Have Reached Out To Him About Starting An NFL Career, Says It Would Be "Quite Easy"

You gotta give the Paul brothers credit, man. They've mastered the ability to say the dumbest and most arrogant shit in the world, and I eat it up like slop every time. They know what they're doing. And I can't help but fall right into their trap. 

They're insanely smart businessmen, which is why it pisses me off that Logan Paul has stooped so low as to start a fake feud with Tom fucking Brady. I know a lot of people are focused on how it's beneath Tom, but I'm more focused on how it's beneath Logan. He's transformed himself into a very successful entrepreneur, as well as a bonafide superstar in the WWE. All this "drama" with a divorced dad who's nearly 50 is just far too weird of a sidequest. 

And it looks like his brother Jake is looking for a weird sidequest of his own. The 29-year-old boxer seems to have his eyes set on making an NFL roster someday, as he claims that there's too much "super mediocrity" in the league. Just an absurd thing to say. 

I should've stopped watching the video after he said that. But foolishly, I consumed the rest of the clip from Front Office Sports and was shocked to hear that he wouldn't be interested in playing on the defensive side of the ball. Nope. He wants to be a skill position player, specifically a wide receiver. 

Yeah that ain't happening, brother. 

To his credit, though, he did say that a couple teams have reached out to him about pursuing the NFL, but it's unclear whether or not his hometown Browns would be interested. If they were, he would undoubtedly join the list of Cleveland rookies that have been head-hunted by the rest of the league. Manziel. Sanders. Paul. What a trio. 

I really hope he tries to go down this route. It would be so fucking funny to see him get absolutely smoked by a safety across the middle. But knowing the Paul brothers, this is probably just lip service. He knows better than anybody that he wouldn't last two fucking seconds in NFL pads. But it makes for a good headline that I fell for yet again.
