Lions' Ndamukong Suh Named NFL's Rookie Of The Month


You wonder how they managed to lose two games in October.

Defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh was named NFL rookie of the month for October and return ace Stefan Logan was named NFC special teams player of the month.

The Lions also had the rookie of the month in September, Jahvid Best. The Lions were 2-2 in October.

"The thing with Ndamukong is that every week he's gotten a little bit better and he's adapted very, very quickly; great athletes usually do," coach Jim Schwartz said. "He's improved from week to week the way he plays blockers, the run game and also in the passing game. He just gets it. He's got a really good motor. He's really tough. He's just been very, very productive for us."Suh leads the Lions with 6.5 sacks.
