Paige VanZant Among Athletes Favored To Win ‘Dancing With The Stars’ (Photos)

“Dancing With the Stars” season 22 kicked off Monday night, and if you watched the season premiere on ABC, you probably noticed quite a few athletes in the cast.

UFC star Paige VanZant, Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown, Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller and former Boston College and New England Patriots quarterback Doug Flutie all are putting on their dancing shoes for the latest season of the popular TV show.

And, as it turns out, the oddsmakers liked at least three of these athletes’ chances before the premiere to join Emmitt Smith, Apolo Ohno, Helio Castroneves, Kristine Tsuya Yamaguchi, Shawn Johnson and all the other sports stars who won it all.
