Wildcat's Peters Drafted by Atlanta Falcons

University of Kentucky defensive tackle Corey Peters was selected by the Atlanta Falcons in the third round of the National Football League Draft on Friday.
Peters was the 83rd 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."
