Woman NFL Tryout

(FOX) – A former college soccer player tried to kick through the glass ceiling of the NFL, but came up short.  Twenty-eight year-old Lauren Silberman became the first woman to try out for the league, at the regional scouting combine in New Jersey.

She made two poor kickoff attempts and aggravated a quadriceps injury she suffered in training last week.

Silberman is an MIT graduate and had no experience playing football.
