Chicago Rush News Release
Chicago Rush rookie WR/LB Etu Molden was named AFL Rookie of the Month for April, the Arena Football League announced today.
In four games, the Rookie of the Year candidate caught 37 passes for 492 yards and eight touchdowns, and was named the Baby Ruth Real Deal Offensive Player of the Game twice. In addition, Molden recorded 6.5 tackles and recovered a fumble during April.
"Etu Molden has done a fantastic job for us this year," said Rush head coach Mike Hohensee. "With Lindsay Fleshman hurt and out of the lineup the past few weeks, Etu's role has intensified and he has come through for us."
Molden, Chicago's leading receiver, also leads all rookies in receptions (76), and ranks second among rookies in receiving yards (966) and third in receiving touchdowns (17).
The Rush (8-4) travels to Grand Rapids this week to play the Rampage (1-11) Saturday at 6:30 p.m. Fans in Chicago can listen to Tom Dore and John Jurkovic call the action on ESPN 1000.
The team returns home on Sunday, May 16, at 2 p.m. against the Dallas Desperados.
