He showed he could be a new member of the Miami Dolphins, launching the ball high up in the air as if he was a signal caller.

American fans will have to reserve their judgment, however, if Messi can be a quarterback, as the object he was throwing in practice was a soccer ball and not the one used in the National Football League.
