During the live broadcast of the 85th Academy Awards, the network revealed that NFL player Jacoby Jones would be dancing on the ballroom. "He's already won a Super Bowl ring," an announcer said in a promo. "What's he going to do next? Dance."

The Baltimore Ravens wide receiver follows the footsteps of other football athletes including Donald Driver, Hines Ward and Emmitt Smith who have participated on the show. Each of them won their respective seasons.

Recently, "American Idol" alumna Kellie Pickler, "The Bachelor" star Sean Lowe, country star Wynonna Judd and Olympic gold medal winning gymnast Aly Raisman were rumored to be among the cast lineup of "DWTS". However, ABC refuses to deny nor confirm the report.
