Who Is Danny Amendola? Super Bowl-Winning Wide Receiver Appears on ‘DWTS’

Among the 13 celebrities appearing on the new season of “Dancing with the Stars” is former NFL player Danny Amendola. Amendola, 38, played college football for the Texas Tech Red Raiders from 2004 to 2007 before signing with the Dallas Cowboys as an undrafted free agent in 2008.

Amendola’s post-Cowboys career took him beyond the Lone Star State. He was on the practice squad for the Philadelphia Eagles in 2009, but didn’t make the regular-season cut. The St. Louis Rams signed him instead, along with former Eagles quarterback coach Pat Shurmur. In 2013, Amendola signed a five-year deal with the New England Patriots.

In 2018, Amendola signed a two-year contract with the Miami Dolphins, but was released in 2019. He then played two seasons for the Detroit Lions.

Amendola returned to his home state in 2021 to play for the Houston Texans, before announcing his retirement from professional football the following year.
