Back in 2018, Quinton Peron and Napolean Jinnies made NFL history when they became the first ever male cheerleaders to join an NFL team when they were among 76 finalists who auditioned for the the Los Angeles Rams cheerleading squad.
Fast forward to January and the Los Angeles Rams, with the help of non-call, defeated the New Orleans Saints in the NFC Championship game to make their way to the Super Bowl in Atlanta. Along the way will be the duo of Quinton Peron and Napoleon Jinnies, who will be the first male cheerleaders ever to perform at the biggest game of the year.
“I think we can both say we have both been reached out to by so many men that are so excited to try out, and not just men our age but young men trying out for their junior high school dance team or cheer team and high schools, and it’s exciting to see society change a little bit,” said Quinton Peron, a Los Angeles Rams cheerleader, on “Good Morning America” on Thursday.
“We are extremely excited to see what is going to happen next year,” said Napoleon Jinnies, a fellow Los Angeles Rams cheerleader.
The Los Angeles Rams will take on the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl on Feb. 3 in Atlanta.
