Although Jake’s initial posts made it seem like he was going to be part of the playing team, it will not be the case. Jake later posted a video on his Instagram account which put some clarifications on the matter. The video seemed like a staged one where the Cleveland Browns’ vice president let him know that Jake will be on the social media team, not on the playing field.

Johnson called labeled Jake’s role as the “junior associate content assistant.” Although Jake was initially disappointed, he ultimately decided to accept the position and signed the contract. The 25-year-old was then presented with his very own customized jersey with the number 00. Although Jake will not be playing, it is still a big occasion for him.
His older brother, Logan Paul, reacted to the news on his Instagram story. Although Logan did not write a message, he used an emoji to imply that Jake’s achievement was mindblowing. While Logan has competed in Wrestlemania, Jake’s association with the NFL is also a huge feather in his cap. So it looks like both brothers are conquering the sports world.
Is Jake Paul an NFL star now?
Jake Paul is a certified draw. Not many YouTubers can cross over to boxing and start selling PPVs. However, straight out of the gate, Jake started selling out arenas and sold a lot of PPVs as well. So The Problem Child is certainly a draw in the world of boxing. But, the same can not be said for him in the NFL. First of all, he is just starting his tenure in the league.
On top of that, Jake is part of the social media team of the Cleveland Browns. Although JW Johnson joked that he will let Paul try out for the team in the summer, it is unlikely that Jake will ever play in the NFL. So Jake Paul is definitely not an NFL star yet. But, with Jake having a voice in the social media aspect of the Browns, the Ohio team may become even bigger in the virtual world.
Jake Paul’s net worth
The star has a whopping net worth of $310 Million. This is more than the NFL legend, Tom Brady, who has a net worth of $250 million. Although he has not been boxing for a long time, Jake’s career as a child actor and his YouTube channel are big sources of income for the younger Paul brother.
