Locals in the NFL: Utah linebackers show off their talents

SALT LAKE CITY — Week 4 showed that three former Utah linebackers are some of the best in the league so far this year. Alex Smith also continues to dismantle defenses, leading the Chiefs to 4-0.

Nick Vigil (Utah State):

Vigil propelled the Cincinnati Bengals to a 31-7 win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Vigil had a team-high eight solo tackles, four assisted tackles and three tackles for losses. Vigil also had one of the Bengals' two sacks. The second-year former Aggie linebacker leads the team in overall tackles with 34 tackles. Vigil also is one assisted tackle away from leading the team in that metric.
