Can she kick it? Lauren Silberman To Become First Woman To Try Out For NFL Via NYDailyNews Even if kicker Lauren Silberman doesn’t catch the eye of a single NFL team during her tryout Sunday, she will have made a significant impact on the history of the league. Silberman is the first woman to perform at an NFL regional combine, 10 smaller combines that provide a chance for lesser known prospects to make an impression on scouts. She will kick at the Jets facility in Florham Park, N.J., Sunday with fellow prospects – all male – in hopes of sparking an interest from teams that might draft them late or send them an invite to training camp. Silberman, 28, doesn’t have nearly as much experience as some of the other kickers vying for NFL roster spots. The first female registrant played club soccer when she was in college at Wisconsin, but only recently began kicking field goals. Silberman told USA Today she “saw the opportunity and had to go for it.” The kicker continued, “I love football, new experiences, and wanted to take the chance to learn more about the training process that leads to a successful NFL career.” Some of these male kickers ain’t isht, no reason this broad shouldn’t get a shot to be ain’t isht too. “I was not aware that I was the first female registrant,” Silberman said to NFL.com. “I was actually hoping that the 2012 historical milestone rule, to allow women to play, would prompt more women to attend tryouts this year. But for me, what’s important is to finally have a chance to fulfill my dreams by trying out to play in the world’s most competitive football league.” Good luck girl, the NFL is most notorious “good ol’ boys” club this side of the Illuminati. If you should make the a team that locker room is going to be VERY interesting. Via MyFoxOrlando
