During his time with the New York Giants, Rashad Jennings demonstrated solid footwork and an impressive mix of elusiveness and power out of the backfield for Big Blue.
On Tuesday night, Jennings proved to the entire nation that those skills aren’t just valuable on the football field as the former Giants running back used his nimble feet to take first place on this season’s Dancing With The Stars season finale.
Jennings, 32, and his partner, professional dancer Emma Slater, bested former Chicago Cubs catcher David Ross to take home the top prize.
While Ross’s showing was impressive, NFL players like Jennings clearly have a leg up in these competitions as he became the fourth NFL player to win the title, joining past winners Donald Driver, Emmitt Smith and Hines Ward.
