Famous YouTuber turned WWE Superstar<\/a> Logan Paul ticked off a lot of former and current NFL players after he claimed he could beat any of them up. But ex-Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a> running back Le’Veon Bell<\/a> didn’t take his challenge lightly.<\/p>\n After Paul challenged any NFL player to meet him in the gym for $1 million, Bell called him out on social media, asking him to fight him in April during the 2026 NFL Draft weekend in Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n “STOP DUCKING [Logan Paul],” Bell wrote via X<\/a>. “Bro tryna fight an NFL player that\u2019s never fought before .. Let\u2019s set it up bro, we all heard you say you can beat any NFL player. We can fight in April, the NFL draft is in PITTSBURGH ..We can fight NFL draft weekend! Let\u2019s make it happen”<\/p>\n Paul appeared to shoot down<\/a> the challenge by claiming Bell wasn’t in the NFL, that he isn’t a draw, and that he actually knows how to fight, which would force him to miss time from WWE while he trains.<\/p>\n Bell proceeded to decry Paul for ducking him and wanting to face a football player who can’t fight.<\/p>\n Expert NFL picks: Exclusive betting insights only at USA TODAY.<\/a><\/p>\n Despite Paul’s claims that Bell isn’t a big money fight, plenty of fans would love to watch the former Steelers<\/a> running back silence the internet personality in a boxing ring.<\/p>\n For up-to-date\u00a0Steelers\u00a0coverage, including any offseason moves, follow us on X\u00a0@TheSteelersWire<\/a>\u00a0and give our\u00a0Facebook page<\/a>\u00a0a like.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"March 5, 2026, 9:12 p.m. ET Famous YouTuber turned WWE Superstar Logan Paul ticked off a lot of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":795290,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2055],"tags":[95878,7,6,520,57,2360,96718,96719,426,95882,96696,97905,96082,95896,95888,95895,95899,96720,96071,95883,111698,111699,95881],"class_list":["post-795289","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-pittsburgh-steelers","tag-accessfree","tag-football","tag-nfl","tag-pittsburgh","tag-pittsburgh-steelers","tag-pittsburghsteelers","tag-sstssportsnflsteelers","tag-sstsnsteelers","tag-steelers","tag-tagamerican-football","tag-tagcelebrities-entertainment-news","tag-taggossip-tabloid-news","tag-taglocal-affiliate-arts-entertainment","tag-tagnational-sports","tag-tagnfl","tag-tagnfl-hub","tag-tagoverall-neutral","tag-tagpittsburgh-steelers","tag-tagsmg-timely","tag-tagsports-news","tag-tagwrestling","tag-tagwwe","tag-typestory"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116180347010856138","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/795289","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=795289"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/795289\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/795290"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=795289"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=795289"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=795289"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
