Logan Paul has ruffled a few feathers in the NFL community this week by issuing a $1 million challenge.
The polarizing YouTuber and WWE superstar said this week that he would defeat any NFL player in a fight, including Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett. He’s so confident in his abilities that he’s offering up $1 million to any NFL player willing to accept his challenge.

“My $1,000,000 open bet to fight NFL players has caused an uproar. Here’s the update: Nobody is willing to put $1M in escrow and be flown here to Puerto Rico (all expenses paid) & box with three professional judges They all want to formalize this with a streamer, venue, press conferences, etc. (i.e. get paid to fight but not risk their own money), but I don’t have time nor interest in that,” Paul wrote on the platform formerly known as Twitter.
“I won’t step away from WWE to coordinate & train for an event, but if any player wants to actually put up $1M and fight at my gym with official referees and judges, show yourselves. Also, if they want no-cameras, I’m down.”
Impaulsive.

Just a few minutes after Paul posted this update on social media, Green Bay Packers pass rusher Micah Parsons made it known that he’s willing to fight for $1 million.

“I got million just let me get healthy first,” Parsons replied.
Parsons is less than three months removed from suffering a torn ACL, so don’t expect to see him fight Paul anytime soon.
Would the Packers even allow this to happen?
After acquiring Parsons from the Dallas Cowboys last September, the Packers rewarded him with a four-year, $188 million extension. We’d have to imagine there are certain clauses in his contract that prohibit him from participating in events like this.

Besides, why would the Packers want Parsons to risk re-injuring himself? There’s truly no outcome where the team benefits from him challenging Paul.
With that being said, we highly doubt Parsons and Paul square off in the ring.
