Season 22 of Dancing With the Stars will pit NFL players against each other, as Super Bowl 50 MVP Von Miller and Antonio Brown of the Pittsburgh Steelers have joined the cast.

Wide receiver Brown made the announcement live on SportsCenter Monday, and outside linebacker Miller was confirmed by an ESPN source.

This will be the first time that two NFL players will compete in the same season. Miller is known for his elaborate dances to celebrate sacks, according to the league.

Miller and Brown have some big shoes to fill. They join the 14 other NFL contestants that have competed in the show's history, three of which have gone on to win.
