GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Donald Driver has advanced to the final of "Dancing with the Stars."The 37-year-old Green Bay Packers wide receiver is now one of three remaining contestants with an opportunity to win it all in next week's finale.With television host Maria Menounos eliminated Tuesday night, it's down to Driver, singer Katherine Jenkins and actor William Levy.Driver is six years older than both of the other finalists.With Packers coach Mike McCarthy and teammates Aaron Rodgers and Clay Matthews in the audience, Driver's performance this week has given him a chance to join former Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward (who won the dancing competition in May 2011) and former Cowboys running back Emmitt Smith (2006) as the NFL players to have won in the show's first 14 seasons.Follow Paul Imig on Twitter
