Signing the Dotted Line

Ole Miss offensive tackle Tre' Stallings was selected in the sixth round of the 2006 National Football League draft here Sunday. Stallings was the 186th overall pick of this year's draft.
"Kansas City showed a lot of interest in me from the very beginning," Stallings said. "I'm excited about the opportunity to play for Coach (Herm) Edwards and ready to go to work."
Stallings, a 6-4, 317-pounder from Magnolia, Miss., visited Kansas City on April 18-19 and came away with a good feeling about his chances of being drafted by the Chiefs.
