Lions tight end Sam LaPorta is in the midst of an outstanding rookie season. LaPorta picked up some league-wide recognition for his awesome performance against the Denver Broncos in Detroit’s Week 15 win.

LaPorta earned the Pepsi Zero Sugar Rookie of the Week for the Week 15 game. The rookie from Iowa hauled in five catches for 56 yards and three touchdowns in the 42-17 Lions victory.

It’s the second time LaPorta has won the Rookie of the Week honor in three weeks. He also picked it up in Week 13 with a 9-catch, 140-yard outburst in the win over the Saints.
