The pipeline from Provo to the pros is strong with 17 former BYU Cougars currently on NFL rosters. Here's how each of them performed in Week 4.
Tyler Allgeier, RB, Atlanta Falcons
Stats: 16 carries, 51 yards, 1 TD
That's more like it, Falcons! After making Tyler Allgeier nearly invisible last week, Atlanta gave him a number of carries consistent with the type of impact player he is. The fourth-year back tied his season high with 16 carries and scored his second rushing touchdown on the season. He now has 155 rushing yards this year.

Zayne Anderson, S, Green Bay Packers
Stats: 1 tackle
The fifth-year backup safety continues to be a special teams mainstay and had one special teams tackle against the Cowboys on Sunday Night Football.

Chris Brooks, RB, Green Bay Packers
Stats: 1 reception, 1 yard
The third year veteran continues to play his role as a backup running back, often being deployed on third downs as a blocker or a receiver out of the backfield. He did just this against the Cowboys on a tie in Sunday Night Football.
Brady Christensen, OL, Carolina Panthers
Stats: Played most of second half
After guard Chandler Zavala went down with an injury, Brady Christensen filled in at right guard for most of the second half of the game and played quite well. Now in his fifth season with the Carolina Panthers he could be positioned to start once again if injuries continue to bite the Panthers offensive line.

Puka Nacua, WR, Los Angeles Rams
Stats: 13 receptions, 170 yards, 1 TD
Puka Nacua ended Week 3 leading the NFL in both receptions (29) and receiving yards (333). All he did in Week 4 was add 13 more receptions and 170 yards, once again proving Puka is the NFL's best wide receiver. The 170 yards is a new single-game receiving record for the BYU legend. He also became just the third player in league history with at least eight receptions in each of his teams first four games.
What's even crazier is Puka is putting up these monster numbers while also being incredibly efficient. He has 42 receptions on 50 targets, giving him a ridiculous 84 percent catch rate. Puka was PFF's No. 1 rated receiver BEFORE his monster 170-yard performance this week. GOAT.
PUKA NACUA TOUCHDOWN!

Puka Nacua is a top ___ WR?

Ryan Rehkow, P, Cincinnati Benglas
Stats: Plays Monday Night
As I wrote last week, Ryan Rehkow was leading the NFL in punting through Week 3. His Cincinnati Bengals play on Monday Night Football this week so his has yet to play in Week 4.
Kingsley Suamataia, OG, Kansas City Chiefs
Stats: Started at left guard
The 2024 second round pick continues to thrive at left guard for the Chiefs. In Week 4 he once again started and did his part in Kansas City's convincing 37-20 victory over the Baltimore Ravens.

Khyiris Tonga, DT, New England Patriots
Stats: 1 pass defended, started at nose tackle
Khyiris more than did his part in the Patriots dominant 42-13 demolition of the Carolina Panthers. He started in the defensive trenches and repeatedly ate up blockers as the Pats held the Panthers to just six points until garbage time. At times he was matched up against Panthers guard and former BYU star Brady Christens for some Cougar-on-Cougar trench warfare.

Fred Warner, LB, San Francisco 49ers
Stats: 8 tackles, 1 forced fumble
Is it possible to call having "just" eight tackles in a game a quiet week? It is if the player you're discussing is All-Pro linebacker Fred Warner. The 49ers fell this week to the Jacksonville Jaguars but Warner once again did his part. With the forced fumble he caused he became the all-time leader in that category in 49ers history.
🔥 Record-breaker! #49ers LB Fred Warner forces his 17th career fumble, passing Patrick Willis for the most in franchise history. 🏈💪#FTTB #JAXvsSF
