VIDEO: 7-year-old Christian McCaffrey copied Owens' Sharpie celebration

Whenever Christian McCaffrey gets to the NFL, his celebration game is going to be strong.

The Stanford running back got an early start with his celebrations, as the Denver Broncos posted this video of him breaking out Terrell Owens' Sharpie celebration at the age of 7.

"The kids seriously thought they were playing in a Super Bowl," Lisa McCaffrey, Christian's mother, told David Lombardi of ESPN. "The mascots actually were a little salty because the kids were going all out."

Lisa thinks she knows why her son went to such elaborate lengths with the celebration.

"He was playing with his older brother (Max McCaffrey, now a senior at Duke) and all his friends," she said. "I think they made him do it ... I remember Max and his buddies being super psyched that he did it after."

Perhaps Christian will pull something else out of his hat if he wins the Heisman on Saturday.
