He might not be the name you hear the most in Detroit.
But no player was better last month than linebacker DeAndre Levy.
Levy was named the NFC’s defensive player of the month for September, after leading the way for the Lions league-leading defense.
Their 267.3 yards per game average is the league’s stingiest, and they lead the NFC North at 3-1.
But Levy has plenty of individual achievements as well, as he’s had at least 10 tackles in three of their four games, and is the only player in the league with an interception and a safety.
Since the start of the 2013 season, he has seven interceptions, the most of any linebacker in the league over that span.
