Players who have won Dancing With the Stars in the past include Donald Driver, Emmitt Smith and Hines Ward. Others that have done well in the competition include Jerry Rice, Warren Sapp and Jason Taylor.
Very little has been confirmed thus far regarding season 22 of Dancing With the Stars, considering season 21 just ended a few weeks ago. Len Goodman will be returning to the judges table alongside Carrie Ann Inaba, Julianne Hough and Bruno Tonioli - after sitting out of season 21 to be with family in England.
Dancing With the Stars returns for a new season on Monday, March 21 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
