NFL star Micah Parsons calls out Logan Paul in $1 million challenge

WWE superstar Logan Paul recently issued a challenge to fight any NFL player for a massive $1 million prize, and it appears Micah Parsons is willing to put his reputation on the line.

Last season, the Green Bay Packers stunned the NFL when the Dallas Cowboys traded away Parsons. However, the veteran pass rusher had his 2025 season cut short after suffering a torn ACL.

Bell claimed that he would fight Paul, but only if the bout took place in Pittsburgh during NFL Draft weekend. However, Paul was quick to claim that he doesn’t want to disrupt his WWE training schedule, especially in the lead up to WrestleMania 42.

Now, Paul may have a legitimate competitor to face in Micah Parsons. The All-Pro defensive end has proven to be a force chasing after quarterbacks since arriving in the league, but it remains to be seen when he will return to the field.

The former Penn State star has recorded 12 or more sacks in each of his first five seasons, a mark that no NFL player has ever reached before.
