The Philadelphia Eagles are hoping Michael Jackson’s 14-year-old daughter wants to be a cheerleader when she grows up.

TMZ is reporting Eagles head cheerleader Barbara Zaun said she watched Paris Jackson in action and liked her moves.

“We think Paris will make a great Eagle cheerleader!” Zaun told TMZ. “We thought that she had a lot of poise, confidence, and enthusiasm in her cheer performance. … Paris has that ‘wow factor’ that makes a great cheerleader.”

While Paris is a member of her prep school varsity squad, the Eagles require their beauties to be at least 18 years old and carry a high school diploma.

Zaun told the gossip website that when Paris is ready, the birds are willing to give her a shot.

“She is already very comfortable in the limelight, so we think she would definitely stand out and impress the judges,” Zaun said. “We hope that she will try out for the team and be an Eagles cheerleader!”
