As the NFL trade deadline approaches, many fans are waiting to see if the Green Bay Packers will add a wide receiver. Perhaps one is available from a nontraditional background, one who would boast a pretty impressive combine score in at least one area?

When TMZ asked Olympic star Usain Bolt if he'd ever consider playing in the NFL, the 33-year-old said yes, but only if it was with the Patriots or the Packers.

"If the Patriots or Aaron Rodgers call me," Bolt said, "...If they call me, I'm ready!"

Bolt declined offers from NFL teams wanting to give him a look as a wideout in 2016. The 6-5 Jamaican has won eight Olympic gold medals and 11 World Championships, and he still holds the world record in the 100, 200 and as part of the 4x100-meter relay. His most recent international competition success came in 2017 when he won bronze in the 100 meters at the world championships after taking three gold medals at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

Bolt retired from sprinting in 2017 and gave soccer a try but was unable to latch on with a professional contract before "retiring from sport" in early 2019.
