Is the Boise State football dog an elite quarterback? No, but he could be, if someone just gave him a chance.

Boise State's dog (a good boy) is what's called a kickoff specialist. By that, we mean that he runs onto the field like a happy idiot and gets the tee after kickoff.

Take a look at the dog in action. Note his elegant form. Note the fluid, dancer-like movements in his route running that make him a shoe-in for the Hall of Fame. Note his professionalism in the midst of a huge crowd of rabid football fans.

Do NOT note the way he drops the tee, that doesn't matter.

The viral video of Boise State's student athlete dog was posted on Twitter on September 15 and has over 320,000 likes. Why? Simple: Twitter is inspired by athleticism.

The spread of the original video has turned Twitter into what is essentially a Boise State dog appreciation blog, with a few political posts in between to break up the dog stuff.

Mashable will continue to watch Boise State dog's season very closely.

See you on Draft day, pup.
