After being told he would be up for elimination only 25 minutes into last week's episode, former Chippewa football player Antonio Brown waltzed to redemption Monday night, advancing as one of four remaining pairings on ABC’s “Dancing With the Stars."

The pair, Brown and Sharna Burgess, scored 27 out of 30 points Monday night after receiving straight 9’s from judges for their Viennese waltz to "Love On The Brain" by Rihanna.

Brown will dance in the semi-finals at 8 p.m. on Monday, May 16 on ABC.  

This is his eighth week on the show.

While playing on CMU's football team, Brown was named a first-team All-American as a punt returner in 2008 and 2009 by The Sporting News.
