New York Giants punter Steve Weatherford will use his legs for dancing instead of booming kicks.

Weatherford has become the latest athlete/celebrity to accept a prom invitation. Yes, a punter! It seems anyone affiliated with the NFL can go to the prom, while more and more kids pull out all the stops asking famous folks for crazy dates.

Lauren Delbert of Bayonne High School in Bayonne, New Jersey tweeted the invite to Weatherford while entering a contest to win a Fathead of the Giants punter.

To her surprise, Weatherford accepted the offer:

The real twist here? Lauren is attending the big night with her boyfriend, who has no problem with sharing his date with the NFL star. Weatherford said, "I know she is going to bring her boyfriend. I don't want to steal all the spotlight."
