NYC woman will get her kicks as first female to try out for the NFL

Our money is still on little Sam Gordon to be the first female to make an NFL roster, but she won't be the first to try. Lauren Silberman, a one-time college club soccer player from New York City, has signed up to participate in one of the league's regional combines in March as a kicker. Silberman acknowledges she's a long shot, and it almost sounds more like a stunt to promote her consulting business Double Play Media, which helps athletes use video games for training purposes. Colts punter Pat McAfee checked out a video of her kicking and tweeted that she might need to used a banned substance: "She's gonna need a lot of deer antler spray b4 her tryout...But it's still cool she's out there trying."
