This very good dog was the star of new Vikings linebacker Chazz Surratt's draft party

Posted May 2, 2021
On Friday, the Vikings selected linebacker Chazz Surratt out of North Carolina with the No. 78 pick in the draft. As the camera panned to Surratt’s at-home draft party in North Carolina, we got a look at his family and friends celebrating as the pick was announced. But, more importantly, we also got a great shot of this dog joining in on the celebrations. (USA Today)
