Lauren Silberman was the first woman to compete at an NFL regional scouting combine on Sunday, but left the New York Jets' practice field after re-injuring her quadriceps. She tried two kickoffs, the first going 19 yards and the second about 13 yards, and then asked to see a trainer. Tons of news networks came to see her attempt and she made a joke of it. I don’t mean to sound ungrateful and harsh but she only attempted two kicks not one going over 20 yards. The NFL was grateful in giving her a chance, not because she is a woman, but because she is a unheard of inexperienced kicker. To get invited you usually need to have experience and need to be heard of. It was great to see a woman get a chance to show talent, I just wish Silberman was able to represent herself and woman better than what she did.
