Calvin Johnson finishes third on 'Dancing with the Stars'

Calvin Johnson joked around as Tom Bergeron asked him about his sister, Erica, over Thanksgiving. Erica Johnson had said at the start of the season her brother couldn't dance and had no rhythm.

And it sounds like he's going to take time on his first Thanksgiving away from football to possibly rub it in.

"Yeah," Johnson said after his final dance on the show. "Probably with some cranberry sauce."

Johnson proved his family, his old teammates and just about everyone wrong throughout Season 23 of "Dancing with the Stars," eventually advancing to the finals and finishing in third place, just short of the Mirror Ball Trophy but well ahead of any expectations people had of him.
