Securing His Timeline for PFL MMA Debut, Jake Paul Drops Major Update on NFL Move – “Be a Wide Receiver”

Jake Paul has taken the combat sports world by storm. From being a YouTuber to boxing some of the MMA’s best fighters ever, ‘The Problem Child’ is now aiming to pursue another sport. Earlier this year, Paul signed a deal with PFL to fight in MMA. However, he recently revealed that he’s also looking forward to a move to the NFL.

Jake Paul is returning to the squared circle once again in December. He will be taking on Andre August, a professional boxer with a 10-1 record. And now, Paul turned heads after revealing his interest in being a football player in the future. Let’s see what he had to say.

Jake Paul is interested in a move to the NFL

During a recent episode of the ‘BS w/ Jake Paul’ podcast, Jake Paul revealed one of his dreams. He aspires to be an athlete signed with arguably the biggest sports brand in the world, Nike. Paul firmly believes that he’d make the perfect candidate for the company and their tagline. The 26-year-old said, “I truly believe that I’m the prime example of being a Nike athlete from Ohio. Wrestling my whole life, repping the whole entire brand.”

Furthermore, ‘The Problem Child’ also stated that he has an idea for a Nike commercial in his head. This will only happen when he decides to make a move to play in the NFL. Paul added, “We have this commercial in my head and I’m gonna go to the NFL after I’m done boxing and be a wide receiver and I’m gonna score a f***ing touchdown. And when I do it, I’ll say, ‘Just did it!'” But what does that mean for his MMA aspirations?

Paul’s PFL debut date is yet to be announced

With Jake Paul already thinking about his NFL move, it remains to be seen what will happen to his MMA dreams. He had already laid down a challenge to Nate Diaz for a fight and even agreed to pay him $10 million. However, the Stockton native has not accepted the offer just yet. He still wants to fight Paul in a boxing rematch.

Meanwhile, when Jake Paul joined the PFL, he announced that he would be fighting in the new ‘Super Fight’ division. However, he has been keeping himself busy with his boxing ventures, with no official date for his PFL debut in sight.
