David Beckham was offered a tryout to become a placekicker by an unnamed NFL team prior to his move to Paris Saint Germain.
Beckham retired from soccer in May.
“It was obvious too that if Becks took up the offer then any NFL franchise would be interested as his international appeal would generate billions in PR and commercial opportunities," said a source.
Beckham declined the invitation but the source said he could change his mind in the coming months.
