Danny Amendola is the NFL's lone representative on season 33 of "Dancing with the Stars," but he's doing the league proud.
After the debut episode, in which he performed a tango to "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" by Shaboozey, fans were looking forward to what the retired wide receiver had to offer in the second week of the competition.
As the third out of 13 dancers on the night, Amendola's newest set of moves left viewers impressed. With gymnast Stephen Nedoroscik, rugby player Ilona Maher and former NBA player Dwight Howard among the other athletes on the roster, Amendola has definitely established himself as a threat.

The theme of the second episode of "Dancing with the Stars" was Oscars Night, which saw each couple dancing to iconic songs from films that have received Academy Award nominations. Amendola performed a jive to "Danger Zone" by Kenny Loggins from the original 1996 "Top Gun" soundtrack.
Fans of the show were quick to commend Amendola for his moves, complimenting his footwork, energy and stunts. The 38-year-old also showed more of his personality this week than last as he settled into his groove.
Though Amendola and his partner only fared one point better than last week's judges score, earning a 21, he impressed most viewers and proved he is very much in the mix.
