Super Bowl MVP Von Miller is hanging up his football cleats for a pair of dancing shoes. The Denver Broncos linebacker will be competing for the coveted Mirror Ball Trophy in the next season of "Dancing with the Stars" along with Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown.
Miller, 26, has not been shy about showing off his stellar dance moves in the past. He is known for his celebration dances and breaking out his best moves on and off the field. After the Broncos won Super Bowl 50, the outside linebacker stopped by "The Late Late Show with James Corden" where he showed off his moves and taught the British host a thing or two about celebration dances.
"I like to dance," Miller said in February during Super Bowl week. "First thing, I like to dance. Sometimes I think about it; sometimes they just happen. But I dance at practice all the time, I just like to dance. I like to show emotion. I say you have a younger generation that pays close attention to that and that is what they follow. So give them something to follow, plus I just like it."
Miller is not the only current football star joining the ABC dance competition for Season 22. Brown will also be dancing alongside Miller on "Dancing with the Stars." The show has a long history of recruiting football stars to ballroom dance with Emmitt Smith, Donald Driver, Hines Ward and Jerry Rice all previously competing on the show.
"Dancing with the Stars" has already announced a couple of the cast members, including "Fuller House" star Jodie Sweetin, who was unveiled as the first official cast member earlier this week on "Good Morning America." On Friday morning, "Good Morning America" meteorologist Ginger Zee and "The O.C." alum Mischa Barton were announced as the next two who would compete on the show.
In addition to announcing the first three stars in Sweetin, Zee and Barton, their professional dance partners were also revealed. Sweetin will be dancing with Keo Motsepe, Zee will team up with Season 20 champion Val Chmerkovskiy and Batron will dance with Artem Chigvintsev.
The rest of the cast of Season 22 of "Dancing with the Stars" will be revealed on "Good Morning America" Tuesday, March 8. The show premieres Monday, March 21, at 8 p.m. on ABC.
