Throughout the years, Dancing With the Stars has had notable football stars both past and present grace their stage. As part of the 10th anniversary celebration, those players returned to collaborate on a routine.
The 10th anniversary special Tuesday night features Kurt Warner, Jacoby Jones, Michael Irvin, Donald Driver, Hines Ward, Jerry Rice, and Emmitt Smith doing a number called “Famous Footballers Show Off Fancy Footwork”.
Warner finished fifth in the 11th season of DWTS. While he did not win the show, he overcame odds on the football field, toiling several years in anonymity before eventually becoming a Super Bowl MVP.
Jones came in third place on Season 16 of the show. He is most famous however for a 108 yard kickoff return in Super Bowl XLVII, which is the longest play in the game’s history.
Irvin has always been known as a showman and he finished seventh during Season 9. The Hall of Famer was a three-time Super Bowl champion with the Dallas Cowboys.
Driver was victorious on DWTS Season 14. The four-time Pro Bowler is the all-time leader for the Green Bay Packers in receptions and receiving yards.
As a winner in Season 12, Ward continued the trend of football players experiencing success on the show. He owns Pittsburgh Steelers records for receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns.
With his Season 3 win, Smith was the forerunner to athlete excellence on DWTS and also made a return to the show in the All-Stars 15th Season. The NFL’s all-time leading rusher was also a three-time Super Bowl champ with Irvin on the Cowboys.
Rice was a Season 2 runner-up. He is known as the greatest wide receiver in league history and potentially the best player to ever see the field.
Seeing that all these players were such a vital part of Dancing With the Stars history, it will be great to see each of them return tonight.
