UCA, ASU stars now get NFL shot

Two days after being drafted in the sixth round by the Kansas City Chiefs, Tremon Smith was prepared for his flight to rookie camp.

"It's my dream," the former University of Central Arkansas cornerback said from his family's home in Anniston, Ala. "I'm ready to get up there and get to work."

Somewhere in the sky, he'll parallel three former Arkansas State University players who are also bound for Kansas City.

Tight end Blake Mack and defensive tackle Dee Liner signed as undrafted free agents with the Chiefs, and offensive tackle Jaypee Philbert was invited to try out for a contract at Kansas City's rookie camp.
