Former Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Danny Amendola will trade in his soccer cleats for dancing shoes this fall.

Good Morning America released the complete list of celebrities entering the ballroom this season and their pro partners. Amendola is one of 13 celebrities competing for best celebrity dancer in season 33.

Amendola’s former Patriots teammate Rob Gronkowski sent him an encouraging video.

“If you take that ‘Dola playoff energy to the dance floor, you’re gonna dominate for sure, boy,” Gronkowski said.

Amendola played 13 seasons in the NFL for the Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Eagles, New England Patriots, Miami Dolphins, Detroit Lions, Houston Texans and the Rams when they played in St. Louis.

The former undrafted wide receiver began his career with the Cowboys, where he signed as an undrafted free agent. However, Amendola was cut before the start of the season and returned to the practice squad after clearing waivers. He spent the entire 2008 regular season on the team’s practice squad and never saw regular season action.

After that brief stint with the Cowboys, Amendola joined the Eagles, where he signed to the practice squad in January 2009. However, before the start of the season, he was cut and re-signed to the practice squad, but never played a down in the regular season.

The Rams signed Amendola from the Eagles practice squad, and he finally got some playing time. He saw his first NFL action in 2009 and spent the next four seasons with the Rams.

As a Ram, Amendola collected 196 receptions for 1,726 receiving yards and seven touchdowns, averaging 8.8 yards per reception in 42 games and 17 starts. In 2009, he was the NFL’s kickoff return yards leader. While Amendola was solid with the Rams, he made a name for himself with the New England Patriots, for whom he left the Rams in the 2013 offseason.

Amendola won two Super Bowl titles while in New England and was named to the New England Patriots All-2010s Team.

After five years with the Patriots, Amendola bounced between the Dolphins, Lions and Texans before retiring from professional football in July 2022.

In 163 career games, Amendola has recorded 617 receptions for 6,212 yards and 24 touchdowns. The Texas native will now look for more success off the field this time around.
