Randall named league Rookie of the Month

Green Bay Packers rookie cornerback Damarious Randall was named the NFL's Defensive Rookie of the Month for his play during November.

Randall recorded his first two career interceptions in back-to-back games, picking off the likes of Peyton Manning and Cam Newton.

Due to knee and hamstring ailments, the former Sun Devil was forced to miss the Packers Thursday Night matchup with the Detroit Lions.

Strong has been active for just six games this season, and has totaled three receptions for 58 yards and two touchdowns.
