May 2, 2007 - Arena Football League (1987-2008) (AFL I)
Chicago Rush News Release
Chicago Rush wide receiver Bobby Sippio has been named the Arena Football League's Offensive Player of the Month for his performance during April, the AFL announced this afternoon.
"Bobby has developed into one of the AFL's most-dangerous threats," said Rush head coach Mike Hohensee. "He has played great football all year and has been a big contributor to our success this year."
Sippio helped lead the Rush to a 4-0 record in April, catching 48 passes for 774 yards and 19 touchdowns during the month. He set a team record when he recorded 252 receiving yards at Grand Rapids - the highest single-game mark in the AFL this season.
In addition, his 15 receptions in Monday night's win against Philadelphia is a team record.
Not surprisingly, he was named Offensive Player of the Game in each of Chicago's four games.
Sippio currently leads the league with 35 touchdowns and 210 points, and is on pace to break Damian Harrell's records for both touchdowns (61) and scoring (366). He is fourth in the league in receptions (79) and second in receiving yards (1,188).
