The viral boxing sensation has been proving his doubters wrong. He might be looking to grab any chance of playing professional football with both hands. But a recent social media post did leave him vulnerable to criticism about his future ambitions.

Paul took to his Twitter account and posted a short video of him running a route at the Cowboys’ training facility. The youngest of the Paul brothers had sent a tweet on Friday sharing his intent to one day play at the pinnacle of American football.

While he dreams of playing in the NFL, the leap into professional football might be too big for Paul. The league is one of the most physically demanding arenas of any American Sports.

The NFL fans have been on edge since Friday about his plans of playing in the NFL, and Paul gave them all the ammunition they need with his video. The post did receive some responses from some of his acquaintances, along with Twitter users who were doubting whether his catch was complete.

His brother Logan Paul’s best friend Mike Majlak even questioned the legitimacy of his catch.

Even YouTuber FaZe Sensei points to the fact that Paul did step out of bounds.

One Twitter user was pointing at the lack of resistance from Paul’s blocking defender.

Another Twitter user was boldly comparing Paul with Super Bowl LVI MVP and Los Angeles Rams WR Cooper Kupp.

Finally, one Twitter user did ape the lingos used by NFL officials during NFL games, to shut down Paul’s legitimate catch.

Despite his huge fan following and equally high number of critics, Paul shows a determination to prove everyone wrong. But the jump from the sport of boxing to the NFL might be temporary or even a one-and-done stint. However, it cannot be disputed that Paul will bring more fans into stadiums. Some of them will be eager to see how he fares in an actual NFL game.
