She may only be 14 years old, but Paris Jackson is attracting the attention of some powerful players.

The daughter of Michael Jackson is reportedly being courted by the Philadelphia Eagles' cheerleading squad after her crowd-bolstering skills were seen by the head of the Eagles' cheerleaders.

"We think Paris will make a great Eagle cheerleader!" said Eagles' Cheerleader Director Barbara Zuan, according to 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."

Paris will have wait a while before heading to the NFL though. The league requires she be at least 18 years old and Eagles' cheerleaders must have a high school diploma.

Also, as Yahoo! Sports pointed out, having the 14-year old appear in the Eagles' cheerleaders' annual lingerie calendar might quality as child pornography, yet another reason why there will be no moving forward with the deal until 2017.

It's unclear whether Jackson's cheerleading prowess is really so outstanding or if the Eagles are hedging their bets on some celebrity-fueled public relations for a bit of good press.

Either way, Zuan thinks "[Paris] 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!"

Paris Jackson has more than 1 million followers on Twitter and tweets regularly, though she has yet to post anything regarding cheerleading and the Eagles.

By the time Michael Jackson was Paris' age he had already launched his solo career after splitting off from the Jackson 5. Michael Jackson's 1982 album "Thriller" is the best-selling record of all time.
