Not sure whether the question is before the down or before he is down.
Before the down an offensive player cannot call a timeout at the end of the down; however, players can inform an official they want a timeout at the end of the down and the official will acknowledge it.
My suggestion is if a player requests a timeout at the end of the down ask them to call it as you will be looking for it because a situation could arise that would not necessiate a timeout.
As to the other situation, no player can request a timeout before the down has ended.
