The NFL is embracing gay cheerleaders.
Just a few years ago in 2019, Quinton Peron and Napoleon Jinnies made history by being the first male cheerleaders to perform during the Super Bowl. Then in 2023, Jose Capetillo and Brendan Ryan became the first out gay men to ever be captains of an NFL cheerleading team.
But those four aren’t the only gay male cheerleaders in the NFL. Several teams, including the Rams and Patriots even each have multiple gay cheerleaders.
Here are 16 current and retired gay male NFL cheerleaders we love!
