Video: Jake Paul sprints 40 yards in 4.54 seconds to prove claim as he prepares for NFL

Jake Paul has consistently gone out of his way to prove his detractors wrong. 'The Problem Child' lived up to his previous claims by covering 40 yards in 4.54 seconds.

Paul performed the feat without cleats on the beach. The YouTuber turned pugilist also claims to have dashed a workout of 16 sprints. Posting a video of his accomplishment, the 25-year-old wrote on Twitter:

"40 yard dash messing around = 4.54 seconds. 1.No cleats 2.Sand 3.This was after a workout of 16 sprints"

Watch the video below:

Jake Paul initially donned boxing gloves against a fellow YouTuber and went on to change the entire sport over the past few years. 'The Problem Child' has now seemingly decided to try his hand at an entirely new sport and is expressing his interest in the NFL. In an appearance on ESPN's First Take earlier this year, Paul claimed he could cover 40 yards in 4.5 seconds. The YouTuber turned pugilist told Stephen A. Smith:

"Stephen, I can run a 4.5-second 40-yard dash. You don’t think the Browns would draft me? Come on now, I can play Free Safety!”

While switching to the NFL from boxing might seem like a mammoth task, we can only wait and watch with Paul. The Ohio native's recent feat makes it more difficult for his haters to keep up the critique.
