It was a good week for several young 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 this week.


Top 10 NFL Performers

1. Drake London, WR, Falcons/USC

The former USC star shined in the Falcons’ OT win over the Buccaneers on Thursday.

He pulled down 12 receptions for 154 yards and added a touchdown.

2. Caleb Williams, QB Bears/USC

Arguably the best performance of his young career.

Williams threw for 309 yards and two TDs while completing 69% of his passes.

The rookie also added 34 yards on the ground in a huge win over Carolina.

3. Frankie Luvu, LB, Commanders/Washington State

The Commanders continue to win games and their defense is creating a ton of havoc.

This week the former Cougar was at the forefront with seven tackles and 2.5 sacks.

4. Christian Gonzalez, DB, Patriots/Oregon

The Patriots came up short against the Dolphins but Gonzalez did his part in the defensive struggle.

The former Duck registered six stops and picked off Tyler Huntley once.

5. Brandon Aiyuk, WR, 49ers/Arizona State

The former Sun Devil was a bright spot in the Niners’ loss to Arizona.

Aiyuk pulled in eight passes for 147 yards in the loss, including a 53-yard reception.

6. Bo Nix, QB, Broncos/Oregon

The rookie QB had a hand in three of the Broncos’ four TDs in the win over the Raiders.

Nix finished the day with two passing touchdowns and a running score as he threw for 206 yards and no turnovers.

The former Duck is the first rookie QB in Denver history to win three consecutive games.

7. JuJu Smith-Schuster, WR, Chiefs/USC

With injuries wreaking havoc with some of the Chiefs’ top weapons on offense the former Trojan is stepping up.

On Monday night he hauled in seven passes for 130 yards in the KC win over New Orleans.

8. Budda Baker, DB, Cardinals/Washington

Baker led the way on defense for Arizona in their upset win over San Francisco.

The former Husky ended the game with 12 tackles, eight of them solo.

9. Bobby Wagner, LB, Commanders/Utah State

Wagner’s move across the country has paid dividends so far.

The former Aggie continues to shine in Washington.

This week he collected six tackles and 1.5 sacks in their 34-13 win over the Browns.

10. Ka’imi Fairbairn, K, Texans/UCLA

Fairbairn continued his tremendous season in Week five.

The former Bruin was perfect on all three of his FG attempts including the game-winner to knock off Buffalo.

His long on the day was a 59-yarder.
