Steelers' Antonio Brown to appear on 'Dancing With the Stars'

Antonio Brown will be putting his dancing skills to the test this offseason.

The Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver announced Monday that he will be appearing on the 22nd season of ABC's "Dancing With the Stars."

"I think overall it's something that is a challenge," Brown said, according to the Steelers' official website. "It will help me getting better body control, strengthening my ankles. And, obviously, I like dancing. It will be a good opportunity and a challenge."

Brown isn't the first Steelers player to appear on "Dancing With the Stars." Former wide receiver Hines Ward won season 12 of the show.

"Hines told me to have a lot of fun with it," Brown said. "He told me it will be real good for with me as far as my movements and my footwork. The pressure is already on being that he already won the Mirror Ball trophy. The standard has already been set for Steelers Nation."

The entire cast of the upcoming season will be announced Tuesday morning on "Good Morning America." The show premieres March 21.
