Bill Belichick's dog was the unexpected star of the second round of the NFL Draft

The 2020 NFL Draft is unlike any that has ever come before it.

In response to the coronavirus pandemic, the draft is being conducted virtually, with videos of coaches, general managers, and draftees beamed in from their homes to viewers around the world.

The virtual draft has given fans a unique bit of access to some of the power brokers of the league, including an inside-look at Jerry Jones' $250 million yacht and Kliff Kingsbury's impressive abode.

But the virtual draft has also featured its fair bit of awkward Zoom moments — relatable to many of us working remotely due to the pandemic.

On Friday night, while contemplating the New England Patriots first pick of the second round, head coach Bill Belichick got up from his seat to work the phones for a bit. When ESPN's broadcast cut to his Nantucket estate, his trusted dog Nike had taken his seat.

The result was adorable.

On Twitter, fans were quick to joke about Nike's surprise appearance.

The Patriots wound up taking Division II safety Kyle Dugger of Lenoir-Rhyne University 37th overall. Once the pick was made official, Belichick rewarded Nike on a job well done with a treat.

Good boy.
