KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KSNT) – Game three of the preseason might have been more special than the first two for a pair of K-State alumni.
Ekow Boye-Doe and Felix Anudike-Uzomah are both in their rookie years of pro football with the Chiefs. Boye-Doe grew up in Lawrence, Kansas, and Anudike-Uzomah in Lee’s Summit, Missouri.
The duo took the field in Arrowhead Stadium for the first time Saturday.
“It was very amazing,” Anudike-Uzomah said. “A dream come true. Obviously a lot of kids have that dream of playing in Arrowhead and I’m of one them that successfully is living the moment right now. Obviously, I can’t take this for granted. I’ve got to work as hard as I can each and every day.”
Anudike-Uzomah was the Chiefs’ first round draft pick in April. Boye-Doe was picked up as an undrafted free agent.
“Man, just growing up always watching the Chiefs play, always being a fan… running out there before the game; just a surreal moment for sure,” Boye-Doe said.
The former Wildcat defenders were both guests on K-Nation during the summer. Click here for the interview with Ekow Boye-Doe. Click here for the interview with Felix Anudike-Uzomah.
