Novak Djokovic crosses the line by throwing a football at American college and draws NFL’s attention with T...

Novak Djokovic caught the NFL's eye by taking to a football field after warming up playing tennis.

Djokovic, the No. 1 ranked men's player in the world, went through a series of workouts at UCLA that were posted to social media.

Fans and students surrounded Djokovic, who practiced his ground strokes, signed autographs and tossed a shirt into an adoring crowd.

While fans chanting his name was one of the best parts of a video, the biggest highlight was the sight of the 36-year-old tennis superstar trying his hand at American football.

Djokovic took a snap from a center, dropped back and fired a football downfield.

His quarterback motion was a little awkward.

And for some reason Djokovic decided to touch the ball on the field before throwing it.

In the NFL, he would have been tackled immediately and slammed into the ground.

But Djokovic's football arm showed potential and drew the attention of the NFL.

"Hey @TomBrady, can we get a grade on Novak Djokovic’s throw?" the league tweeted.

Brady has a huge social media presence, with the retired NFL GOAT recently posting a video of a faster 40-yard dash time than he recorded at the Combine as a rookie in 2000.

Djokovic posted several videos of his UCLA experience, so he clearly enjoyed the stay in California.

The BNP Paribas Open is set for March 6-18 at Indian Wells.

Carlos Alcaraz won the tournament last year and also claimed the trophy at Wimbledon.

But the 20-year-old has slipped in 2024, giving the top spot back to Djokovic.

Brady lasted until 45 in the NFL and won seven Super Bowls.

If Djokovic receives a passing grade from the GOAT, the most successful tennis player of all time could make a career transition before he's 40.
