Jarvis Landry AFC Special Team Plauer of the Month

Former LSU Tiger and Dolphins receiver Jarvis Landry was named AFC Special Teams Player of the Month for October, joining Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and Broncos linebacker Von Miller as the conference's players of the month.

Landry has seen increased playing time as the season has progressed, but kickoffs are still his specialty. He averaged 35.6 yards per return this month, including a 54-yard return against Green Bay October 12.

The Dolphins scored on three of the five possessions Landry had returned, and he also recorded 32 yards on punt returns. Landry leads the NFL with a 31.3 yards-per-kickoff-return average, which is on pace to set a single-season franchise record. It comes as a bit of a surprise considering he didn't return a kickoff for LSU in 2013.

This is the first time a Dolphins rookie has won an AFC player of the month award since kicker Dan Carpenter won in 2008.
