Pesky Lions WR St. Brown earns Rookie of Month honors, striving to be true No. 1 receiver

Allen Park — After nearly doubling his statistical output in four December games, the NFL has named Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown the NFC's Offensive Rookie of the Month honors.

St. Brown went from catching 39 passes the first 11 games of his career to hauling in 35 balls for 340 yards and his first three touchdowns during the recent four-game stretch.

He was easily the top option in Detroit's passing game during the month of December, drawing 46 targets compared to Josh Reynolds' 25, but position coach Antwaan Randle El noted the rookie still has a ways to go before he can be labeled a true No.
