Cheerleading is already such a cut-throat sport. Not only do you have to be incredible at your craft, but you also need to have the peripheral traits of a good cheerleader. Besides being good at cheering for your side, you need the look, the figure, the attitude, and the temperament to be a good fit for the job. It is an additional honor to not only be a cheerleader but also to win an award that validates your skills!
Berkleigh Wright, who cheers for the Denver Broncos, adding another feather to her hat, has bagged Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Rookie 2024. With hopes to inspire the next generations, she is surely leading by example!

The Denver Broncos are currently experiencing a difficult period with a 1-5 record. They are currently at the bottom of the AFC standings after the first six games of the season. While their luck on the field has been mediocre, at least someone on the Broncos has been turning it around off the field. The NFL cheerleader is in her fifth season with the Broncos and will feature on SI’s 2024 edition, marking its 60th issue.
Technically, Wright tied with six other finalists for the title. In fact, Sports Illustrated didn’t even count the final votes, instead awarding all the finalists the esteemed position of 2024 winner. SI Swimsuit announced, “Congratulations to these 7 fierce, strong, beautiful women! We can’t wait to see you all shine as 2024 Rookies.” The announcement was made during a group video call with the finalists.
