Rams’ male cheerleaders make NFL history at Super Bowl

The Los Angeles Rams are about to make history as two of their male cheerleading dance squad members compete in the upcoming Super Bowl in Atlanta.

According to the LA Times, Quinton Peron and Napoleon Jinnies will join their female counterparts to support the Rams at the Mercedes Benz Stadium Sunday.

Both male cheerleaders made the Rams’ cheerleading dance team in March of 2018, joining New Orleans Saints’ Jesse Hernandez last year as the first male cheerleaders in the NFL. Peron and Jinnies, both classically trained dancers, have been cheering this season during the Rams’ 13-3 run to an NFC Championship title.

Men now often times serve as stunt anchors for lower-level cheer teams, but this year, Peron and Jinnies will perform the same dance moves as the rest of the team at the Super Bowl.

The two have expressed lots of excitement on social media as they prepare for Sunday’s game.
