Utes in the NFL: Week 12 Review, Week 13 Preview
12/3/2020 2:53 PM | Football
SALT LAKE CITY – Five weeks remain in the regular season as 21 former Utes are set to suit up for their respective NFL teams for week 13 as wild card weekend looms in the distance.
Utah has been well represented in the NFL this season with 31 total former Utes earning spots on active or practice rosters. With standout statistics and performances this season, several former Utes are in the running to earn a 2021 Pro Bowl roster spot.
Fan voting has begun and can be accessed through NFL.com. Another way to vote is to head to your favorite Ute's social media page and either tweet with #ProBowlVote or retweet the athlete's original post.
Where to Watch your Utes in Week 13:
Utah's NFL rookie class this season continues to shine each week, and even saw a new addition this week with Josh Nurse getting elevated to Jacksonville's active roster. The Fayetteville, Ga., native saw action on special teams in the Jaguars' game against Cleveland.
In other rookie news, Javelin Guidry had a strong outing in the New York Jets' game against Miami, recording two tackles and his first forced fumble as a pro. Guidry put down a tough hit on DeVante Parker on a first-and-10 for the Dolphins on their own 49-yard line, forcing the fumble out of bounds.
Former Ute and all-time leading rusher Zack Moss put together a strong performance for the Buffalo Bills in their 27-17 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, recording nine carries for 59 yards (6.6 ypc) with two catches for nine yards. His 31-yard rush in the game was a career-long for the Ute as a pro.
Jaylon Johnson recorded his 14th defended pass of the season in Chicago's game at Green Bay, ranking him fifth overall in the NFL this year. He finished the game with four total tackles, including a tackle for loss.
