DWTS Season 20 Rumor: Patriot’s Malcolm Butler?
@DWTSGossip mentioned Malcom Butler this morning as a possibility for Dancing With The Stars Season 20. Now a source for Hollywood Life says producers have asked Malcolm to dance.
Malcolm had one of the biggest plays ever in Super Bowl history when during the final seconds he intercepted the ball at the Seahawks — causing the Patriots to secure their win. Now, a source exclusively revealed to HollywoodLife.com if Malcolm will take on a totally new challenge, learning how to dance.
“The producers have reached out and have asked Malcolm to be a part of the upcoming shows season,” our insider said. “He really wants to do it but will make his final decision after talking to the higher ups in the Patriots organization because they may not want him to risk injury in the off season. If that happened it could cost him millions and his day job.”

I so want a football player to dance again so I say bring him on (if true!).
Heidi: Here’s what I think, and it’s VERY CYNICAL, so apologies in advance. Here is what I speculate happens from time to time. Sites like Hollywood Life are all over twitter and the internet like fleas. They see people like us, and DWTSGossip and even Kristyn Burtt talk on this site and on twitter and that becomes their “source”. Told you I was cynical. We know of another site that very obviously gets their story ideas from here so why not? Anyway, besides my cynical view of the whole thing, I would not be the least bit surprised to find that the producers wanted him. But I also would not be surprised to find he’d never even been asked. 😀
Vogue: lol Don’t apologize. I’ve oftened wondered the same.
Knowing everything we know about Bill Belichick, can’t really imagine he would be cool with any of his players doing the show.
I would be totally up for seeing him but I also completely agree with those HollywoodLife comments. Two years ago, right after the Super Bowl, I’m pretty sure they rumoured one of the main players in Colin Kaepernick with almost similar ‘source quotes’… and let’s not forget their Shania Twain rumour last season after she simply made a Facebook comment saying she would maybe do it. But yeah, I’d like to see a footballer still.
I had to google him but I think he would be a great choice. Maybe for Kym?
As a Patriot fan I will love any of the players on the show! The Rob rumor really got me exited, but knowing that team and Belichick I see it difficult that any of the players will participate while on contract. Although, Butler would probably be easier to get than someone like Rob Gronkowski, as he is not as valuable as Rob is (I mean in $$ value).
