It was another 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. Jared Goff, QB, Lions/Cal
Goff continues to shine, throwing for 315 yards and three touchdowns with a 153.8 passer rating in the Lions’ 47-9 victory over Dallas.
This after posting a 155.8 rating in his last game, becoming only the second quarterback in NFL history to record a passer rating of 150 or higher in back-to-back starts, joining Drew Brees (Weeks 10-11, 2018).
2. Jordan Love, QB, Packers/Utah State
Love and the Packers routed the Cardinals in Green Bay on Sunday.
The former Aggies signal caller threw for 258 yards and four TDs in the 34-13 win.
3. Caleb Williams, QB, Bears/USC
The Bears first-rounder continues to improve each week. Against the Jags in London, he completed 79.3% of his passes for 226 yards and four TDs while adding 56 yards on the ground.
Williams is the first rookie quarterback selected No. 1 overall to win four of his first six career starts in the common-draft era.
4. Drake London, WR, Falcons/USC
London led the Falcons in receiving once again with six receptions for 74 yards and a touchdown in the Atlanta win over Carolina.
The former Trojan now has four TDs on the season, matching his career high for a single season with 11 more games to build on.
5. Justin Herbert, QB, Chargers/Oregon
The Ducks had an excellent weekend, and Herbert had his most productive game of the 2024 season.
The former UO QB threw for a season-high 237 yards and a TD as the Chargers knocked off the Broncos.
6. Fred Warner, LB, 49ers/BYU
The former Cougar led the Niners’ defense on Thursday night with 11 tackles, six solo, in the San Francisco win over Seattle.
This is Warner’s third appearance on this list in six weeks as he continues to perform at a high level.
7. Josh Allen, QB, Bills/Wyoming
Josh Allen had a hand in all three of the Bills’ touchdowns on Monday night.
The former Cowboy threw for 215 yards and two TDs and added one on the ground while connecting on 76% of his throws in the win over the Jets.
8. Bo Nix, QB, Broncos/Oregon
The rookie QB continues to reward the Broncos for selecting him.
Despite falling to the Chargers 23-16, Nix threw for 216 yards and a pair of touchdowns and added a season-high 60 yards on the ground.
9. Keenan Allen, WR, Bears/Cal
Allen had his best game of the season in the Chicago win in London.
The former Cal Bear found the end zone for the first time with the NFL Bears in Week 6.
Allen hit paydirt twice against the Jags with five receptions for 41 yards and two scores.
10. Paulson Adebo, DB, Saints/Stanford
Adebo was a bright spot for New Orleans on Sunday.
The former Cardinal collected 10 tackles, eight of them solo, and had an interception in the Saints’ loss to Tampa Bay.
Other Notable Performers
