I bet 2 of our freshies both set our freshman marks except TD where only one does:
48 cat 650 yards 8 TD
35 cat 500 yards 4 TD

Things have changed so much. When A.C. -greatest I've ever seen - did it, he was pretty much THE wideout, then things changed, of course, when Mo took over and LC kept the double wides with the slot playing an imporant role as well. The TE, outside RR, has always been a cog in the M offense and Harbaugh will use them more than anyone.
That, the TE being the primary as often as the wideouts, along with his desire to make the backs a big part of the passing game will probably make it difficult for any one receiver to separate themselves in a big way. However, when one does ascend to that level they seem to do so in a big way, i.e. Terrell, Braylon, et. al. As talented as DPJ is, I'd say Black is probably a little more advanced at this point and my chips would be on him emerging as the early leader of the freshmen unit.

Damn at Anthony Carter. Before my time but was he just taking it to the house half the time or what? 27 yds per catch and 41% touchdown rate? That's incredible!
