Since Jake Paul first stepped into the boxing world back in 2018, he\u2019s only continued to make forward steps \u2013 both in the ring with his skills, and out of it with the size of the events. Following his knockout win over Tyron Woodley at the end of 2021, the social media sensation has linked himself with a fight against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, and even teased that he may move into MMA. However, in another big twist, the Ohio native has already planned out his future beyond boxing \u2013 and it involves taking over a different sport altogether, football. After appearing on ESPN\u2019s First Take, and backing himself to face off with Saul \u2018Canelo\u2019 Alvarez, the 24-year-old joined Stephen A\u2019s World to talk a bit more about things. When pressed on what he wants to do after boxing, Jake surprised the host with his hopes of strapping on the pads and hitting the gridiron. \u201cStephen, I can run a 4.5-second 40-yard dash,\u201d the YouTuber said. \u201cYou don\u2019t think the Browns would draft me? Come on now, I can play Free Safety!\u201d While it may have appeared to be a joke, Jake further noted that he even could play wide receiver. \u201cI\u2019ll be up in there scoring touchdowns. You\u2019ll see me on SportsCenter highlight reels.\u201d .@jakepaul’s plans: retire from boxing with a 10-0 record then make a move to the NFL \ud83c\udfc8 @stephenasmith pic.twitter.com\/krmuNmowAo \u2014 ESPN+ (@ESPNPlus) January 28, 2022 Even though the NFL might be a pretty big reach, Jake\u2019s hopes of walking away with a perfect 10-0 boxing record aren\u2019t all that far off. He currently sits at 5-0, and his repeatedly demonstrated his knockout power.
