Track star Usain Bolt is ready to make the jump into the NFL on one condition, it has to be with the New England Patriots or Green Bay Packers. TMZ Sports asked Bolt if he ever thought about trying out for the NFL and he said he had, but had that one condition.

“If the Patriots or Aaron Rodgers call me,” Bolt said, “…If they call me, I'm ready!”

In 2016, Bolt turned down some offers from teams looking to give him a tryout at wide receiver, but it appears now he is at least open to the idea. Bolt is one of the most decorated track stars ever and holds multiple world records.

The Jamaican has won eight Olympic gold medals and 11 World Championships. He currently still holds the world record in the 100 and 200-meter race along with the 4×100-meter relay.

Bolt retired from sprinting in 2017 and tried to catch on playing soccer. He struggled to play at a high level and recently retired from the sport.

It's hard to imagine either the Packers or Patriots would bring him in for a tryout now because that would bring quite the media circus around it, and that's the last thing both teams want as they try to win a Super Bowl.

Maybe during the offseason, one of these teams will bring in Bolt and see if he has what it takes to be a wide receiver on their squad. It would be a tough transition for Bolt, but it would be fun to see him catching passes from Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers.
