(CNN) Former NFL player Ray Lewis' mirrorball trophy dreams have been dashed. Host Tom Bergeron announced Lewis and partner Cheryl Burke's withdrawal on Monday's show. "Not the ending I had hoped or worked for but that mirror ball trophy wasn't in the plans for me," Lewis wrote on Instagram. "Regardless of the ending, I truly enjoyed the journey and everything it taught me," he wrote. "It wasn't just about dance, but about pushing limits, getting out of my comfort zone and trying something new."
