Former Ute Sean Smith leads Utah locals in the NFL Week 5

SALT LAKE CITY — Former Ute Sean Smith is balling out for the Raiders. Two weeks after recording his first interception for the silver and black, Smith again came up big for the Raiders in a tightly contested victory over division rival San Diego, picking off Philip Rivers for his second of the season.

Smith also added two pass deflections and five tackles for Oakland. After struggling early in the season, Smith is beginning to reassert himself as one of the better former Utah collegiate locals on this list, alongside former Cougar Dennis Pitta, former Utes Eric Weddle, Alex Smith, and Steve Smith, and former Utah State Aggie Bobby Wagner.
