For a guy who is training hours a day at the gym before further training for his dance performances, former NFL defensive end Michael Sam put on quite the dazzling show in his Dancing with the Stars debut.

Sam’s partner was Peta Murgatroyd and they danced Cha Cha style to “Uptown Funk” by Bruno Mars and Mark Ronson. Taking a bit of criticism about his footwork—something which Peta was told to work with Sam on—he put up an awesome overall performance. Next week we should see improved feet and a little less forced cheesy smile from Sam.
In the meantime, Sam, who was originally drafted by the St. Louis Rams, is also training to enter the first ever NFL Veteran Combine. If all goes well for him at the Combine, Sam will perhaps have another opportunity to pursue his dream of playing in the NFL
