Former LSU and current Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Kwon Alexander was named NFL Rookie of the week on Friday. He is the first defensive player to win the award this season. Per Buccaneers.com:

“Kwon has done a great job for us in the middle of our defense this year and we are excited to see him getting recognized for his level of play,” said Buccaneers Head Coach Lovie Smith. “Defensively, we focus on making big plays and forcing takeaways, and that is exactly what Kwon did for us last week in Houston. He is getting more comfortable in his role each week and we look forward to seeing him continue to develop.”
Against Houston, Alexander recorded 10 tackles, intercepted a pass and deflected two more passes. Earlier in the week, the rookie said that the interception was the first he’s ever recorded at any level. According to Pro Football Focus, Alexander was the league’s third-best inside linebacker in pass coverage in Week 3. He’s currently the Bucs’ second-leading tackler, behind Lavonte David, with 23 tackles.
