'Tonight, you proved you can dance:' Calvin Johnson makes 'Dancing' finale

Calvin Johnson proved that yes, he can dance.

The former Detroit Lions wide receiver made it all the way to the finals Monday evening and is one of three couples -- along with IndyCar driver James Hinchcliffe and Olympic gymnast Laurie Hernandez -- to make Tuesday night's "Dancing with the Stars" finale. And considering that Johnson's sister, Erica, once said he had no rhythm and his former teammates all said they figured this first venture in retirement wasn't going to go well, Johnson did what he set out to do.

He proved them all wrong and is one of the final three contestants to try and claim the Mirror Ball Trophy.
