The Dancing with the Stars Season 22 cast won’t officially be announced until next month, but the list of possible celebrity competitors continues to grow as DWTS sleuths use social media clues to sniff out the stars who want to get their paws on that Mirrorball Trophy.

ABC hasn’t announced which professional dancers will be appearing on Season 22 of Dancing with the Stars, but PureDWTS recently uncovered evidence that Sharna Burgess will competing on the show with an NFL pro: Pittsburg Steeler wide receiver Antonio Brown. Brown let the cat of the bag when he started following Sharna Burgess and Dancing with the Stars on Twitter. According to PureDWTS, there’s at least one celebrity every season who accidentally spoils the cast announcement by following their partner on Twitter.

Antonio Brown has already proved that he has the moves to compete on Dancing with the Stars. According to USA Today, Brown is known for performing a very creative touchdown dance called the Bennie Biggle Wiggle. The NFL star can definitely move his hips, and DWTS fans might have a positive response to him because he’s a humble guy who is always smiling. In the video below, Antonio Brown breaks down how to do the Bennie Biggle Wiggle.

Brown might be joined by another athlete with dancing ability during Season 22 of Dancing with the Stars—PureDWTS previously reported that MMA fighter Paige VanZant started following the DWTS Twitter page last week. Paige also follows Mark Ballas on Twitter, so perhaps he successfully campaigned to get the incredible athlete signed on as his celebrity partner. According to Bleacher Report, Paige VanZant’s next UFC fight has not been announced. If she’s not currently training for a fight, she might have time to compete on DWTS.

Paige VanZant reportedly spent over a decade studying hip hop, ballet, and jazz, so any of the Dancing with the Stars pros would be lucky to have her as a partner.

There are also a few reality show stars who are using social media to actively campaign for offers to join Dancing with the Stars. When Good Morning America sent out a tweet asking viewers which celebrities they would like to see on the show, 18-year-old Brielle Biermann revealed that she wants to follow in the footsteps of her mother, former Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kim Zolciak-Biermann, by competing on the show. As People reports, Kim had to drop out of the competition last season after suffering a mini stroke.

Chrisley Knows Best star Savannah Chrisley also responded to the Good Morning America tweet by retweeting dozens of responses from fans who named her as their top pick. The beauty queen let her followers know that she appreciated their support, and she hinted that she has her eye on Val Chmerkovskiy.

Unfortunately for Savannah Chrisley, Val Chmerkovskiy might already have a partner. As The Inquisitr previously reported, Fuller House star Jodie Sweetin will be a member of the Season 22 cast. Val guest-starred on an episode of Fuller House as a love interest for Sweetin’s character, so it seems highly likely that he’ll be paired up with her on Dancing with the Stars.

There are also a few unsubstantiated rumors floating around about potential DWTS cast members. Hollywood Life recently claimed that Rob Kardashian’s girlfriend, former stripper Blac Chyna, is interested in joining Dancing with the Stars. She allegedly thinks that it would be fun to compete against Keeping Up with the Kardashians star Scott Disick.

“She would love to do the show with Scott Disick as well and the producers love that angle as well,” a source revealed.

Rob Kardashian finished in second place during Season 13 of Dancing with the Stars, so he would be able to give Blac Chyna a few helpful tips. However, she might not get the chance to use them to defeat Scott Disick. According to TMZ, Disick will only join Dancing with the Stars if he gets paid half a million dollars, and so far the show has been unwilling to meet his demand.

The Dancing with the Stars Season 22 cast will be announced Tuesday, March 8 on Good Morning America. Would you like to see any of the celebrities mentioned above on the show?
