“Still can’t believe I’m one of the first males in history to be a pro NFL cheerleader!” posted Jinnies when he made the squad. “Everyone’s support and love has been insane! Thank you and GO RAMS!”
Male cheerleaders have long been a mainstayin college sports. Former president George W. Bush was not only a cheerleader in college, he was the head cheerleader at Phillips Andover Academy. The late actor and comedian Robin Williams also once performed as a cheerleaderfor the Denver Broncos.
