Tyreek Hill was named special teams player of the month for the month of December. With two TD’s on special teams returns, Hill helped the Chiefs earn two divisional victories in back to back weeks.
Hill joins Tamarick Vanover as the only Chiefs rookies to win a Player of the Month Award. Vanover got his award in 1995. Hill’s production on special teams this year has been huge and has been a significant factor in the Chiefs success. Hill has earned three AFC player of the week awards in 2016 to go with the December monthly award. Vanover was also the last NFL rookie to accomplished that goal.
