YouTuber-Turned-Boxer Signs Tongue-in-Cheek Contract
Jake Paul has officially signed a contract with the Cleveland Browns, joining the NFL franchise’s social media team, as revealed in a humorous video. The 25-year-old has transitioned from being a popular YouTuber to an undefeated professional boxer, competing six times in the ring and winning four of those bouts by knockout.
In a light-hearted video shared on his social media platforms, Paul stood alongside the Browns’ executive vice president, JW Johnson, who was holding a custom jersey emblazoned with “J Paul, 00.” Paul expressed his excitement, stating, “This is a dream come true,” and assured Johnson, “I won’t let you down.”
Johnson responded enthusiastically, saying, “We’re fired up. Excited to have you be a part of the team… It’ll be quite the experience for sure.”
The video also featured Paul’s playful disbelief as he exclaimed, “I’m in the NFL, what??” Later, in a staged press conference shared on the Browns’ Instagram, Paul pretended to sign a player’s contract, only to be presented with a document designating him as the franchise’s “junior associate content assistant,” which he duly signed.
