Troy comes in at #21 of the best receivers in the past 15 years.  On his twitter page he was gracious and noted that he only had one BCS scholarship offer coming out of high school.  I love these unheralded recruits who come in and shine.  Marecic, Bademosi, Doug Baldwin, and Brevin Knight come to mind.  Before Harbaugh, a lot of the recruits didn't have any other offers listed on their bio pages besides Stanford.  Times have really changed.

Thanks for pointing this out!

It is nice to see Troy come in higher than receivers like Robert Woods.  As I recall, Troy's senior year was amazing, but he showed steady improvement all four years.  I doubt that he would be remembered as one of our all time greats had it not been for that senior year ending in the Rose Bowl, not to mention catching that bomb in Pasadena with a cast on his arm (am I remembering that properly?)  One wonders how that Rose Bowl would have turned out had it not been for those last minute injuries.
