FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) -- Lauren Silberman's NFL tryout lasted all of two kicks, neither of which traveled 20 yards.

Silberman became 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.

As more than two dozen media, including E! Entertainment network, watched her every move, the 28-year-old Silberman was examined off to the side of the practice field. About 30 minutes later, while 36 other kickers continued their workouts, she called the scene ''surreal'' and thanked the NFL for ''this tremendous opportunity.''

You know this story would not work anywhere else, except the Jets. If it were any other team she'd be kicking 50 yard field goals.

''You know, the distance wasn't there, but hopefully the scouts will notice my technique,'' she said. ''It's not always length.''

This really is other NFL. It was a regional combine event, not like the Jets were giving everyone a tryout for their team specifically.

I'll go ahead and say it, if she does make those kicks and shows a decent leg for kick offs...I'd sign her.

The Dolphins would instantly become national headlines and the first team a new generation of fans (women) look to. That will put butts in seats.

Ohio Fanatic · Mar 4, 2013

well, watching her 2 kickoff attempts that went 13 and 17 yards, I felt bad for her. Even I could do that.

Uh oh. I'm in the weird part of The Phins again.

Everything I've read indicates she is a better kicker than her tryout suggested. I think the quad injury screwed her up.

She was there to sell her video game is what NFL Network people were saying. The "tryout" was a way for her to get attention for it.

Oh of course she is, or she would have never gotten the try out.

I'd be scared to sign her.

How many times does a returner only have the kicker to get by and score a TD? That would kill special teams.

Now, if you say she's only a FG kicker, well that burns a roster spot.

No way no how unless she looked like Nick Mangold with long hair.

DrAstroZoom · Mar 4, 2013

By the way ... what I've read since indicates I was WRONG. Publicity stunt. My bad for assuming the best.

Paul 13 · Mar 4, 2013

but she showed great form on those kicks... the ball just wouldn't cooperate.

jdang307 · Mar 4, 2013

Stupid gravity. Imagine if she was kicking on the moon.

PlanB · Mar 6, 2013

Remember how the Jets handled that Hot mexican reporter a few yrs back in their Locker Room? Who in their right mind would let them have a female kicker anywhere near that Team!? Better have a Lawyer on call...........

jdang307 · Mar 6, 2013

Dude her arse was so fine.

Rocky Raccoon · Mar 8, 2013

When I saw that her kicks only went 15 yards or so it boggled my mind. I didn't understand why she was even trying out if she could only kick the ball that far. Then I read that she injured herself on the first kick. Probably trying extra hard to impress and it cost her.

I also agree with Fin D, I'd sign her too if she had any kind of benefit to the team.
