Logan Paul, the YouTuber-turned-WWE Superstar, says no NFL player could beat him in a boxing match and is backing up his challenge by offering $1 million to any player willing to step into the boxing ring with him, TMZ Sports reports.
The backstory:
TMZ Sports says the challenge came about after an Instagram post by retired NFL player Tom Brady in which he and fellow retired player Rob Gronkowski talked about Paul's athletism, with Brady saying, "Come play with the big boys. You're lucky you won't get hit."

Several NFL players accepted the challenge. TMZ Sports says Buffalo Bills offensive tackle Dion Dawkins, Dallas Cowboys center Brock Hoffman and Kansas City Chiefs offensive tackle Kingsley Suamataia have all said they would lace up gloves and step in the ring if the opportunity becomes reality.
Former NFL player Le’Veon Bell also said he would take Paul up on the challenge, with TMZ reporting that Paul brushed him aside as he’s no longer an active NFL player.
TMZ says right now there is no boxing match scheduled.
