He's done plenty of damage in the green and gold, but on Monday, Purple Haze fueled NFL stalwart Donald Driver to his most successful outing of the young season, racking up three nines, and stealing the show with a 27-point dance to the Jimi Hendrix classic.
"Muscular, masculine, magnificent!" judge Bruno Tonioli said. "You have power, you have proud and a bit of sense of humor."
Judge Len Goodman remarked, "I never thought I'd get excited seeing a man with his shirt off ... without a doubt, your best dance."
