When/Where/How To Watch #ProUtes For Week 13

Former members of Utah's top-ranked defense last season will now face off as rookies in the NFL when Jaylon Johnson and Chicago face off with John Penisini and Detroit in an NFC North showdown

Former Utah cornerback Jaylon Johnson was the first Ute taken in the 2020 NFL draft when the Chicago Bears drafted him with the No. 50 overall pick in the second round.

He emerged from training camp as a day one starter, becoming the first rookie cornerback for the Bears to start on opening day in 24 years. He's lived up to the billing thus far, recording 28 tackles and 14 passes defended on the season — including the game-winning play against the Lions in the season-opener.

On the other hand, John Penisini was the last former Ute to be chosen in the 2020 NFL draft, being selected No. 197 overall in the sixth round by the Detroit Lions.

Despite being the last Ute chosen, he's more than proven himself as a potential steal of the draft. He's quietly emerged as the Lions' top interior defensive lineman throughout the 2020 season, earning his first start of the season last week against Houston.
