The Mountain West Conference continues to make its mark in the NFL, with several alumni delivering outstanding performances throughout the 2024 season. Here are three standout players who have particularly impressed:

Josh Allen (Wyoming) Former Wyoming quarterback Josh Allen has emerged as the leading MVP candidate in 2024, ahead of Lamar Jackson. The Buffalo Bills star has maintained his excellence with a fifth consecutive 4,000+ yard season. After dominating at Wyoming with over 5,000 yards and 44 touchdowns, Allen has transformed the Bills into perennial AFC East champions, winning the division five straight years. His notable victory over the Chiefs in Week 11, where he accumulated 300+ total yards and two touchdowns, proved his ability to compete with the best.

Bobby Wagner (Utah State) The former Utah State tackling machine continues to excel in his 12th NFL season. Wagner, who recorded 446 tackles during his college career, has led the Washington Commanders to their first playoff appearance in four years. His veteran leadership and crucial plays, including a game-changing fumble recovery against the Buccaneers in the wildcard round, have been instrumental in the Commanders' success.

Jordan Love (Utah State) After succeeding Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay, Love has proven himself worthy of the starting role. Building on his impressive college career (3,567 yards, 32 touchdowns in 2018), Love has thrown for over 3,389 yards and 24 touchdowns in 2024. Despite a playoff exit to the Eagles, his performance earned him one of the largest contracts in NFL history, cementing his position as the Packers' future.
