JetNation Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 After Danica Patrick’s entrance into NASCAR and after Manon Rhéaume’s attempt to play in the NHL, we have a woman who is trying to break the gender barrier into the NFL. Lauren Silberman, 28 a former Wisconsin soccer player will be at the NFL regional scouting combine at Florham Park trying to become the first ever female player to play in an NFL game. Her goal is to be able to kick a FG from 60 yards, though at the combine the furthest attempts will be from 50 yards and she will have to prove how well she can handle extra points and short field goal attempts. She will have some stiff competition from college kickers but she could end up like Greg Zuerlein who was at last year’s combine and ended up being drafted by the Rams in the 6th round. Silberman is not the first woman to try out in football as there are numerous women who have tried out and won some spots at the college ranks such as Katie Hnida who was the first woman to ever score a point in division 1-A for New Mexico but she will be the first woman to try out at the professional level. If she succeeds and makes it past preseason cuts she could be the first woman to ever play in a regular season game in any of the 4 major leagues (NFL, MLB, NHL & NBA). Here’s a video of an interview and of her practicing: Follow Me: View the full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larz Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 being a soccer player, she may have speed to make a returner at least change directions, but lets be fair, she's probably 30 lbs too light to actually bring a returner down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenseed4 Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 It's my understanding that the lingerie bowl (according to it's commish) is a legitimate sport. So if things don't work out it's not like their aren't options out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New York Mick Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Really?? I just watched the vid and she can't kick worth a sh*t and doesn't have enough power for a 40 yard fg much less 60. She should try out for the fly girls or penthouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BurnleyJet Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Actually amusing we are even taking this semi seriously, besides under the the all new "Goodell" NFL it will be 5 years before girls play. when he's introduced his new "anti collision" policy and this coloured "flags" which stick out of your back pocket. Plus in the "New" sexuality open NFL the gay players will be able to chose which pocket the "flag" is placed to denote whos the reciever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetsFanInDenver Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I finally saw the vid. As much as i would like to see women break the barrier of competing in the NFL i have to say she kicks like a .....er........gal. But as someone said she should be a shoo in for the non-lingerie wearing lingerie league! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
