Donald Driver may be best known for catching passes at Lambeau Field but last night he showed the world that he could do the cha-cha. Driver made his “Dancing With the Stars” debut last night with partner Peta Murgatroyd.
Driver didn’t earn a great score but he did seem to be a fan favorite. When the judges announced that he scored a 21 out of 30 the audience booed. Host Tom Bergeron quipped :
“Just 31 minutes into the season. I think that’s a record for starting an ugly mob.”
After the show, Driver wrote on Twitter:
“Oh my God! It was a amazing night! #DWTS was on fire. I want to thank everyone for tonight. Love u packer nation and @PetaMurgatroyd .”
Driver thanked his DWTS partner again by saying:
“ @PetaMurgatroyd thank u for u leadership, motivation, determination today. Truly something special. Thanks.”
Driver isn’t the first NFL player to show his grace on “Dancing With the Stars.” According to ESPN , 10 former footballers, including Jerry Rice, Hines Ward, Michael Irvin and Chad Ochocinco, have all danced on the ABC show.
Here’s a video of Donald Driver’s “DWTS” debut.
