In a season of very strong competition and amazing dancing, Dancing With The Stars crowned it’s season 14 champ last night.

Donald Driver takes the win over his two other very capable and incredibly talented contestants: William Levy and Katherine Jenkins.

The football star, who can now add a Mirror Ball trophy to his Super Bowl ring, received an almost perfect score of 89 for the last two night of the competition.

With his partner Peta Murgatroyd, the two danced a country-themed freestyle and a cha-cha that earned high marks from judge Len Goodman.

“We’ve had some great footballers on the show over the years,” said the judge, praising him. “My feeling is, you are the best we’ve had.”

Driver’s life has been inspirational. He was born in Houston where he and his mother and siblings were homeless throughout much of his childhood. He battled drugs but turned his life around and was drafted by the Green Bay Packers in 1999. He went on to win Super Bowl XLV with the Packers.

Note to future competitors: athletes have won 50% of the trophies. If you are a celebrity trying to get in on the mirror ball win, you should get in shape now!
