Simmons, 55, has decided to pursue her dream of becoming a cheerleader for "America's Team." She traveled to Dallas from Carrollton, Texas to audition with hundreds of other aspiring Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders. <br /><br />Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/NMAtv<br />Webpage: http://www.nma.tv/<br />Twitter @nmatv: https://twitter.com/#!/nmatv<br />Tumblr: http://nmatv.tumblr.com/<br /><br />While in her early 20s Simmons almost tried out for the Dallas Cowboys cheerleading squad, but her dreams were put on hold when she had a daughter. Now, more than 30 years later, Simmons is once again pursuing her goal of becoming a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader. If she makes the cut, she will be the oldest NFL cheerleader, but not the first grandmother to become an NFL cheerleader.<br /><br />Susie Sanchez, a 37-year-old cheerleader for the Oakland Raiders, made the cut in 2011, becoming the first NFL cheerleader with a grandchild. Laura Vikmanis of the Cincinnati Bengals is currently the oldest NFL cheerleader at age 42.<br /><br />Simmons is not only the oldest person at the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders audition, she also possesses an impressive resume. Simmons is a commercial realtor, fitness competitor, author and actress. "With me, it has been about the journey. It literally has been about the journey," Simmons told Dallas Morning News.
