NFL players have had loads of success on the Dancing With the Stars stage. The latest pro football player to join the show’s cast is Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Jacoby Jones. Like the NFL players before him, Jones has been doing extremely well on the show and he may go down as one of the best athletes to ever grace the stage.
In his latest performance, Jones performed a Paso Doble with a twist.
It is hard enough for untrained dancers to take the stage with one professional, but he was hit with the task of dancing with two partners — his usual partner Karina Smirnoff along with professional dancer and Dancing With the Stars regular Cheryl Burke.
For his performance, Jones received a 25/30 from the judges.
I am no dancing expert, but he certainly appeared to do a good job and that was reflected by the judges’ scores and comments.
“You have such an impressive presence on the floor. It was really good. The man is suppose to take care of their women on the dance floor. We wanted a little more finesse,” judge Carrie Ann Inaba said.
With that latest performance, it is safe to say that Jones will survive tonight’s elimination episode to see another day.
Here is Jones’ Paso Doble trio:
Not bad for a football player, right? And I’m sure we can’t all help but think, “what a lucky man.”
