Paris Jackson recently joined her school's cheerleading squad, which has already attracted the attention of the NFL, specifically the Philadelphia Eagles. She just needs to wait until she is 18 to join the football team's squad. The 14-year-old daughter of the late "King of Pop," Michael Jackson, attends the Buckley School in Sherman Oaks, California, where she is apparently extremely talented at cheerleading.

Eagles Cheerleading coach Barbara Zaun recently told TMZ that she hopes that Jackson will one day become a member of the Eagles family, saying:

"We think Paris will make a great Eagle cheerleader! 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. She is already very comfortable in the limelight, so we think she would definitely stand out and impress the judges. We hope that she will try out for the team and be an Eagles cheerleader!"

Zaun has apparently been scouting Paris for a while. She has seen video of the teen's cheerleading ability and decided to extend this early invitation. To be able to become an NFL cheerleader, one must be 18 years of age and have a high school diploma.

But is this a little too much for the young Pop music royalty? Her brother, "Prince" Michael, recently landed a gig working for Entertainment Tonight. Do you think that Paris would want to be in the spotlight as well? Some people think that it is too soon to even be talking about this.

AOL Music commenter, Rob, says: "She's 14. Why is there even any talk about an Eagles cheerleading job? Sounds kinda weird anyone would want to discuss such about a 14-year-old girl."

Also, commenter MikeyMeyersM says: "Paris Jackson is pretty and is on her high school cheerleader team but I don't think she shows any more talent than the girls on the squad. The Philadelphia Eagles more than likely only are interested in the draw she might have."

Do you agree with MikeyMyersM?
