I’m sure they are going to expect more than one play from him.

As far as I know the only other sport he played at any organised level was cricket, indeed his it was his youth coach who told him he should try out for track.  
He was a fast bowler which means he has a powerful arm, so he might be able to throw. Otherwise not sure he has any skill relevant for the NFL.
