View StoryThis is Slater's first win. The furthest the 28-year-old dancer has ever gone previously was fourth place in season 17.
The former New York Giants running back's mirror ball trophy signifies the first prize the athlete has ever taken home, since according to Jennings, he has "never won anything including a championship or playoff game."
The win also comes with the exciting news that he will be joining the "Dancing With The Stars: Live!/Hot Summer Nights" tour this June.
