EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) -- Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Percy Harvin has been named the NFL's offensive rookie of the month.
The award for November was announced by the league Thursday.
Drafted with the 22nd pick in the first round out of Florida, Harvin had 317 yards and three touchdowns receiving in four games last month. He also rushed four times for 54 yards and averaged nearly 30 yards per kickoff return. The Vikings went 4-0 in November.
Harvin leads all rookies with seven touchdowns this season. Five of them are receiving, and he has returned two kickoffs for scores.
The last Vikings rookie to receive the monthly honor was Adrian Peterson in both September and October 2007. The last Vikings rookie receiver to get the award was Randy Moss in November 1998.
