Can't recall seeing it in an NFL game but then I don't watch much NFL.
Certainly could justify the call in an NCAA game.
7-1-5-a-4
Player(s) aligned in a stationary position within one yard of the line of scrimmage may not make quick or abrupt actions that are not part of normal defensive player movement in an obvious attempt to cause an offensive player(s) to foul (false start). An official shall sound his whistle immediately [S7 and S21].
Note that it says nothing about the D player actually entering the NZ, that's covered in 7-1-5-a-2.
