The NFL has put out there nominees for NFL Rookie of the Week and Detroit Lions cornerback Brian Branch is one of them. 

Branch had a big first game in the NFL. He picked off NFL MVP Patrick Mahomes and took that pick back to the house for a gem tying touchdown. It was a very important moment in the game for the Lions as they were in danger of going down 21-7. 

Branch will go up against Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson, Rams receiver Puka Nauca, Jets receiver Xavier Gipson, Falcons running back Bijan Robinson and Ravens receiver Zay Flowers.

The results will be released later this week. Good luck to Brian Branch.
