Viewers watching the NFL draft got a surprise today when the camera cut to a shot of New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick only to find a husky sitting at his computer.
The host of the draft coverage took the bizarre scene, with the Patriots due to make their second round selection, in his stride after a moment's hesitation.
"There you see... a canine resemblance for Bill Belichick," he said.
After trading out of the first round on Day 1 of the NFL draft, the Patriots went to Tobacco Road to make a little history on Day 2.
New England selected safety Kyle Dugger out of Lenoir-Rhyne University 37th overall in the second round Friday night.

The Patriots made another deal with Las Vegas, receiving the 91st (third round) and 159th (fourth round) picks in exchange for No. 100 (third round), No. 139 (fourth round) and No. 172 (fifth round).
They used No. 91 to select UCLA tight end Devin Asiasi.
New England then made one final move, getting the 101st pick (third round) from the Jets in exchange for the 125th and 129th selections in the fourth round. and a 2021 sixth-rounder.
The Patriots used that one to get Virginia Tech tight end Dalton Keene.
