About this listen

Utah might not be the first place people think of when it comes to NFL factories — but the Beehive State has quietly produced some of the league’s most respected stars. From BYU icons like Steve Young and Fred Warner to Utah greats like Eric Weddle, Alex Smith, and Julian Blackmon, this episode celebrates the gridiron legends who’ve carried Utah’s toughness, discipline, and underdog spirit to the biggest stage in football.

We’ll rewind through generations — from Lavell Edwards’ BYU offenses that rewrote college football, to Kyle Whittingham’s relentless defensive culture at Utah that’s turned out pros for decades. You’ll hear the stories, the stats, and the moments that made Utah football a pipeline for NFL success — plus a few names who don’t always get the love they deserve.
