NFL star Donald Driver has been crowned the newest champion of "Dancing with the Stars." Driver helped win the Super Bowl with Green Bay Packers in 2011 and says his "DWTS" win rivals that feeling.
"I think it's the same. You have great moments [throughout both experiences]," he noted.
Driver and his partner Peta Murgatroyd edged out stiff competition this year and Donald says it was sweet to take home a new trophy in a timely fashion:
"It took me 13 years to win a Super Bowl. But it only took me one season to win a mirror ball. I've been watching the show for a long time and now I know what J.R. felt last year. That is truly something special. I feel the same way. Right now I'm on cloud nine."
Now that he's take home the mirrorball, Driver says he plans on taking his family away for a little R&R:
"I've been thinking about how I'm just going to thank [my wife] and my kids. [My wife] says she wants to go take a trip. So we're going to take a Disney cruise as a family. We're going to spend as much time together [as we can]. That's what you have to do, because my family has been behind me the whole time."
