Amon-Ra St. Brown's emergence as the Detroit Lions' go-to receiver has not gone unnoticed around the NFL.
St. Brown was named NFC Rookie of the Month on Thursday after he led all rookies in each major receiving category during the month of December.
In four December games, St. Brown had 35 catches for 340 yards and three touchdowns. He had at least eight catches in every game and his 91.5 scrimmage yards per game were the most among first-year players in Weeks 13-16.
The Lions (2-12-1) went 2-2 in December.
"We’ve seen him continually take off in terms of his play and not just in the passing game," Lions receivers coach Antwaan Randle El said Wednesday.
