LUBBOCK, TX – Texas Tech Hall of Fame member and two-time Super Bowl champ, Danny Amendola, is stepping up to the dance floor this season on "Dancing with the Stars" on ABC.
He’s set to trade in his football cleats for dancing shoes, partnering with Witney Carson, a ‘Dancing with the Stars’ pro. The 33rd season of the show kicks off on Tuesday, September 17, at 7:00 p.m. CDT.
Amendola remains one of just three Red Raiders in program history to achieve over 100 returns and 1,000 punt return yards in his career, alongside Hall of Famers Tyrone Thurman and Wes Welker.
After his time with the Red Raiders, Amendola thrived in the NFL, earning two Super Bowl titles with the New England Patriots.
He spent 13 seasons in the NFL before retiring in July 2022.
Since retiring, Amendola has appeared on the reality series “Special Forces: World's Toughest Test” and served as a coach for the Las Vegas Raiders for one season.
