The pipeline from Provo to the pros is strong, with 18 former BYU Cougars currently on NFL rosters. Here's how each of them performed in Week 14.
Tyler Allgeier, RB, Atlanta Falcons
Stats: 11 rushes, 34 yards; 2 receptions 33 yards
The 4-9 Atlanta Falcons got their doors blown off by the Seattle Seahawks this week, but at least Tyler Allgeier is actually touching the ball now, even if many of his 11 carries came in garbage time. The fourth-year stud is in the last season of his rookie contract and I can't wait for him to sign as a lead back somewhere else next year. On the season he has rushed for 378 yards with eight touchdowns.
Zayne Anderson, S, Green Bay Packers
Stats: 1 tackle
Zayne Anderson played his part on special teams in the Packers thrilling 28-21 win over the Chicago Bears. He came up with yet another special teams tackle, giving him 11 tackles and two fumble recoveries through 11 games this year.
Nice special teams gunner work by the Packers Zayne Anderson (No. 39).

Tyler Batty, DE, Minnesota Vikings
Stats: No stats recorded
The undrafted rookie saw the field in the Vikings 31-0 demolition of the Washington Commanders, but he didn't record any stats this week. Batty has seven tackles over eight games in his rookie season.
Chris Brooks, RB, Green Bay Packers
Stats: 1 reception, 6 yards
The third-year back continues to play his role as a third down specialist in passing situations for the Packers offense. He caught one more pass this week, giving him 11 receptions for 74 yards on the season. He also has 31 rushing yards plus 10 special teams tackles as he simply contributes where needed.

Michael Davis, CB, New Orleans Saints
Stats: 1 tackle
The ninth-year pro continues to play a limited role with the Saints, mostly playing some special teams as 3-10 New Orleans just plays out the string at this point. Davis did record a tackle this week, giving him three tackles through eight games this year.
Taysom Hill, TE, New Orleans Saints
Stats: 2 carries, -1 yard; 1 tackle
Oh, Taysom. I don't know if he's lost two steps after coming back from an ACL injury or if the Saints offense and game plans are just that bad, but it has been a rough year for Hill. He now has 70 yards on 35 carries this season, averaging just two yards per attempt.
Puka Nacua, WR, Los Angeles Rams
Stats: 7 receptions, 167 yards, 2 TDs
Simply put, when Puka Nacua is healthy he's the NFL's best wide receiver. His connection with quarterback Matthew Stafford is incredible. The Rams destroyed the Arizona Cardinals this week thanks in large part to Puka's utter domination and two scores. With 93 receptions for 1,186 yards in 12 games this year, Puka will be in consideration for an All-Pro selection.

Ryan Rehkow, P, Cincinnati Bengals
Stats: 2 punts, 39.5 yard average, 57 yard long
Rehkow entered this week still leading the NFL in punting with an average of 52.3 yards per attempt. His two punts this week were 57 yards and 22 yards, which will hurt his average. The second-year punter should be in serious consideration for a Pro Bowl nod this year.
Kingsley Suamataia, OG, Kansas City Chiefs
Stats: Started game
Kingsley was featured on Sunday Night Football as Kansas City's entrenched starting left guard. The second-year pro is currently ranked as the No. 32 guard in the NFL by PFF.
If the Chiefs were playing on ABC/ESPN they would have just skipped over Kingsley Suamataia in the introductions because he said “BYU”. pic.twitter.com/wEyHrx8xy7

Kyle Van Noy, OLB, Baltimore Ravens
Stats: 2 tackles, 1 pass defended
The Ravens lost a heartbreaker to the Pittsburgh Steelers and Baltimore didn't feature Kyle Van Noy as much as they normally do. His snaps seemed to be limited this week to almost guaranteed passing downs yet Van Noy still did his part with two tackles and a pass defended.
