It was another good week for several former SuperWest players.
Each week I highlight the Top 10 performances of West Coast school alums in our coverage footprint.
Here are my choices for Week 12.
Top 10 NFL Performers

The former CSU star becomes just the third tight end in NFL history with at least five receptions in nine consecutive road games.
3. Caleb Williams, QB, Bears/USC
