Garden State native Robin DeLorenzo became just the third female official to join the NFL ranks this year. She's the focus of this week's Snapshot New York with OvermyerTV.
"It's all about seeing snaps, isn't it?" Rich said."For sure. Live and on television," Robin said.
Robin is a down judge. She makes sure everyone is lined up correctly, watches for holding, is responsible for marking the ball and about 10 other things on every single play. Oh, and they're the ones closest to the coaches. "I am the communication from the crew to the coach and from the coach to the crew. For the most part, it will come through me," Robin said."Perhaps it's a North Jersey situation? I have very thick skin. I come from a long line of extremely strong women," Robin said.
She's found her footing in a male-dominated profession. Sarah Thomas was the first, and Robin DeLorenzo certainly won't be the last. "It's one thing to tell them you can do anything, but it's a completely different thing to actually show them, and it's only recently I've realized that, how important it is to show kids that, just keep working at something. Keep trying," she said."If you love something that much, it's worth it. It's nice to be able to show them."
