Trevard Lindley and Corey Peters have been drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles and Atlanta Falcons respectively. From Wildcats to to birds, at least they’re both birds of prey and not something sissy like a Raven (ok, I’m not a Ravens fan if you can tell).
Lindley goes as the seventh pick in the fourth round and Peters goes in the third round.

Here’s what Peters had to say (compliments of lex18.com)
[QUOTE]Peters was the 89th overall pick in the 2010 draft and the first Wildcat taken in this year’s selection process. Rounds four through seven will be held on Saturday.
“It was really exciting (to hear my name called),” said Peters, who watched the draft in his hometown of Louisville. “Atlanta is a good fit for me with the same 4-3 scheme that I’ve played my whole life and it’s not far from Lexington. I’m really looking forward to it.”
Playing in the NFL is a long-time dream for Peters.
“I remember when my brother (Christopher) and I played one-on-one football in the backyard, with our dad as the full-time quarterback, and talking about playing in the NFL one day,” Peters recalled. “Now having the opportunity to do that for a living is exciting.” [/QUOTE][URL=”http://www.lex18.com/news/uks-corey-peters-picked-in-third-round-of-nfl-draft”]Read the entire article here..[/URL]
