The Baltimore Ravens are making a different type of history.
Ravens have a co-ed cheerleading squad, which includes male cheerleaders who primarily focus on stunts and building pyramids. They are the only NFL team with a co-ed stunt team.
The team even took it a step further.
There are more male NFL cheerleaders than ever before, with about a quarter of the league’s teams building gender-inclusive cheer squads.
The Ravens have consecutively used men on their cheer squad longer than seemingly any other NFL cheer squad, dating back over a decade.
In fact, the Baltimore Ravens have a record 19 male cheerleaders on their dance squad for the 2025 NFL season.

The franchise has been inclusive well before there was a push for it in the United States.
Eventually, this will be a thing where it becomes normal. As long as teams like the Ravens continue to advance the practice in the correct way, you can expect to see more NFL teams to add more male cheerleaders in the future.
Every year, it seems like the Ravens are always right there in terms of going all the way.
They are incredible in the regular season. Once the lights get bright, however, something happens to them, and they can never make it to the Super Bowl.
The Baltimore Ravens are considered one of the top contenders for Super Bowl 60 in the upcoming 2025 season.
Compared to the rest of the AFC North, the Ravens have the best Super Bowl odds at +700 on BetMGM, while ESPN has them at +650.
Expectations are high for the Ravens this season. It just might be Super Bowl or bust.
