Atlanta Falcons rookie defensive end Takkarist McKinley has been fairly active on social media, but earlier this month, he announced that he was going on an indefinite hiatus.

McKinley only made it two weeks before logging back onto Twitter because, as he explained to reporters Wednesday, he couldn't watch any more puppy videos.

The 21-year-old has an adorable dog of his own named Codeine, whom he likes to dress up in Falcons gear and Batman costumes:

Name a more iconic duo, I'll wait.. Takk and codeine😈
