Last March, Napoleon Jinnies and Quinton Peron tried out for the Los Angeles Rams and made the team. Together, along with Jesse Hernandez , who joined the New Orleans Saints cheerleading team the same year, they ushered in a new era of cheerleading. "I felt like, this is the year," Peron told Fast Company . "This moment in the world, it feels more accepted. If you have the talent and work hard, why not?"
