Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Ryan Shazier is among the celebrities being targeted for the 29th season of ABC's Dancing With the Stars.
"Two years ago, he was hit on a Monday Night Football game and doctors feared he was paralyzed, and he has learned to walk again. Those are those great stories that are really what 'Dancing With the Stars' is all about—here's somebody who has overcome something, and when you do that, you dance," ABC Entertainment's senior VP of alternative series, specials and late-night programming Rob Mills told Variety's Elizabeth Wagmeister.
