First Woman Tries Out For NFL

Posted: Updated:

(KCEN) -- A former college soccer player tried to kick through the glass ceiling at the NFL on Sunday.

Twenty-eight-year-old Lauren Silberman became the first woman to try out for the league.

She signed up for the New York/New Jersey regional scouting combine and gave it her best kicks, but came up far short.

She made two poor kickoff attempts and aggravated a quadricep injury she says she first suffered in training during the week leading up to the tryout.

To try out at an NFL regional combine, a person must pay a $275 fee.

The NFL says there is no vetting process for the combines.
