And you're looking only at teams at the top of the mountain (teams loaded with talent, which makes it harder for freshmen to break through even if they know the offense cold).

Here's a look at this past year's leading receivers & how they performed as freshmen:

- Davonte Smith: 8 catches / 160 yards / 3 TDs
- Elijah Moore: 36 / 398 / 2
- Jaelon Darden: 32 / 281 / 3
- Dax Milne: 10 / 69 / 1
- Jonathan Adams Jr.: 8 / 77 / 1
- Dyami Brown: 17 / 173 / 1
- Jalen Tolbert: 5 / 60 / 0
- Calvin Austin III: 2 / 24 / 0
- Marlon Williams: 17 / 270 / 2
- Amari Rodgers: 19 / 123 / 0

- Averages: 15 / 165 / 1

Compare that to the studs we've had (focused on guys with NFL talent):

- Miles Boykin: 0 / 0 / 0
- Chase Claypool: 5 / 81 / 0
- Will Fuller: 6 / 160 / 1
- EQ St. Brown: 1 / 8 / 0
- Torii Hunter, Jr.: 0 / 0 / 0
- Chris Brown: 2 / 56 / 0
- Davaris Daniels: 0 / 0 / 0

- Average: 2 / 44 / 0
