Donald Driver: Green Bay Packers WR Wins 'Dancing with the Stars'

Josh MartinMay 22, 2012

Who needs the Vince Lombardi Trophy when you've got the Mirror Ball Trophy?

Certainly not the Green Bay Packers, who can now boast a title on Dancing with the Stars to go along with their four Super Bowl rings and 13 NFL championships, thanks to the efforts of Donald Driver.

The three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver became the seventh athlete in 14 seasons, and the third NFL veteran, to be crowned the winner of ABC's hit show for twinkle toes.

Driver, along with pro partner Peta Murgatroyd, beat out Welsh opera singer Katherine Jenkins and Spanish soap opera star William Levy with a fantastic freestyle cha-cha that earned perfect 10s from all three judges:

The judges awarded 30s to Jenkins and Levy, but it was evidently the American voting public that delivered the trophy into Driver's mitts. 

The win was also Murgatroyd's first in just her second go-round on the show.

Driver's strength and athleticism helped him to shine throughout the competition, though never more than on Tuesday night when he danced shirtless in bright magenta pants opposite Peta's sparkling pink number.

Now, Driver can fly back to Titletown with a title of his own...and another reason for his teammates to give him a good-natured ribbing.
