Drew Stanton, Arizona Cardinals back up quarterback, celebrated his teams touchdown like all touchdown's should be celebrated: like a kid playing in the backyard with friends. The Cardinals, after nearly letting the game slip away against their division rival, Seattle Seahawks, all but sealed the game when Andre Ellington rushed in a touchdown with just over two minutes left to play.

The NFL put up this tweet of Stanton's reaction to the play:

What would you classify the move as? Being trapped in a glass box of emotions, perhaps? A strong martini before the party begins? 50 shades of let it rip? Ah, those are no good. Let's just ask Stanton. "You can't even explain it," Stanton said, via USA Today. "It was just raw emotion. I don't know." OK, glass box of emotions was close. The clip actually doesn't do Stanton justice, however. Check out the full clip here. It's worth the watch. There's a good ten seconds that precedes the video above, where he's generally more excited than a kid at a candy store with a limitless credit card.

The best part about this whole celebration is Stanton wasn't even in on the play. Remember, he's the back up quarterback. After filling in quite adequately for a good chunk of the season last year for an injured Carson Palmer (the current starter), the 31-year-old endured his own injury, putting him back on the sidelines.

Now, in this scenario it'd be easy for Stanton to become discouraged. Heck, you wouldn't be totally shocked to see a guy in his shoes not smiling for a year. After all, he's a professional and would obviously rather be out on the field instead of wearing a headset (albeit a fancy headset). However, it's clear Stanton didn't choose to go this route. He's comfortable in his role within the team, and enjoying the game for what it is: a game (if only more people approached it like this!).

And you know what? It's totally refreshing.
