The Kansas City Chiefs are trying their best to make sure one of their cheerleaders enjoys their birthday this week.
Chiefs cheerleader Taylor Cheek celebrated her birthday on Wednesday. The official Instagram account for Chiefs Cheer shared a few polaroids of Taylor in action and described her as “loyal” and “determined.”
The Chiefs also thanked Taylor for bringing a ton of passion to the organization over the pas year.
“Today is Taylor’s birthday,” the Chiefs wrote for their caption. “Her dependability and support for others makes her a dream teammate. We love watching her shine through her passion for dance.”
Taylor joined the Chiefs during the 2023 NFL season. She was actually named their Rookie of the Year that fall.
“Congratulations to our Rookie of the Year, Taylor! Taylor was a bright light on our team who’s strong, ambitious, and caring. We are so grateful for her,” the Chiefs said.
Prior to joining the Chiefs’ cheerleading squad, Taylor was a Rock Chalk Dancer for the University of Kansas.
Not only did Taylor thrive as a member of Kansas’ spirt squad, she made the school’s honor program due to her success in the classroom.
Interestingly enough, Taylor was named valedictorian at Deer Creek High School. Suffice to say, she’s got the brains to match her energy on the football field.
It’s unclear if Taylor will return to the Chiefs for Year 3. Fans in Kansas City would love to see her back at Arrowhead Stadium for the start of the regular season.
