The 2016 version of the Mountain West Connection top 50 football players countdown is here and the 35th player is Jonathan Moxey out of Boise State.
The defensive back has some shoes to fill has Darrian Thompson and Donte Deayon are in the NFL. Moxey was a play maker for the Broncos secondary with 10 pass break ups to just a pair of interceptions last year. The Mountain West secondaries are very deep again this year, so it could be possible that Moxey could be left out of the first- or second-teams in the end of year awards.
Here are the staff picks and composite rankings.
