BYU in the NFL: Ansah continues his dominance and Van Noy makes his debut in Week 10

Ziggy Ansah has been the most impressive former Cougar in the NFL this season. The second-year player has developed quickly and become an important part of the Detroit defense. Ansah continued his impressive play this past week with what may be the best game of his young career. The former BYU DE wreaked havoc on the Dolphins' offense recording a career-high six solo tackles. Ansah also added a sack and a forced fumble to his day, earning him the praise of his head coach, Jim Caldwell.

Caldwell called Ziggy Ansah "a force." I'd have to agree with him after watching Sunday's performance -- 6 solo tackles, sack and FF

Ansah's teammate, Kyle Van Noy made his NFL debut this week after missing the first half of the season due to injury. The rookie linebacker didn't get many snaps on the defensive side of the ball, but did get a chance to make an impact on special teams, making an important touchdown saving tackle on a kick return. Van Noy spoke about getting the chance to make his debut prior to Sunday's game.

Former Cougar, Daniel Sorensen was on Kansas City's inactive list this week, but the rookie safety did speak with KCChiefs.com about his experience in the NFL so far.
