Despite NFL players’ poor track record on “Special Forces,” Decker has a leg-up on past competitors. Most contestants struggle with missing their loved ones on the show, but Eric is married to another season 4 star: country singer Jessie James Decker. Perhaps the duo will encourage one another to stick it out when the going gets tough.

The new group of 18 celebrity recruits ready to take on the “world’s toughest test” features a Bravo celebrity and her daughter, two famous couples and the return of Jussie Smollett to Fox.

The star-studded "Special Forces" cast includes Shawn Johnson, "Sister Wives" star Kody Brown, Teresa Giudice, Johnny Manziel and Jussie Smollett.
