Donald Driver
Age: 37
Pro partner: Peta Murgatroyd
Star power: Super Bowl-winning wide receiver for the Green Bay Packers
Team name: “Driving Miss Peta. I don’t think she ever saw the movie Driving Miss Daisy. But that was the best name out there.”
Expectations: “My mind-set is to go in and win it and bring the mirror ball back to Green Bay. This town will go crazy. My teammates keep texting me, ‘Don’t be the first to go.’ That’s all they say.”
Biggest dance moment: “My first dance with my wife on our wedding day 12 years ago. As a married man, that’s the one you remember for a long time. It’s Three Times a Lady by the Commodores.
Shirtless plans: Driver will show off his physique in future weeks. “The first two dances, everything stays on. If we make it past Week 2, we are talking about ripping the shirt open and stuff like that. I’m not a fat guy now. I’ll make sure the abs and arms look good.”
Good-luck charms: “I cannot play football without my three kids at the game. Even on Monday night, I need them there. They will be at every show. They won’t miss one.”
