Purdue and Iowa coaches probably pissed he burned them so they put him on 3rd team. That's some BS! There's only 2 WRs with more yards than Palmer in the B1G this season and they are first team.
Not sure how he was THIRD team all conference by the coaches, unless there's some butt hurt coaches out there. Dude finished the season comparable with Marvin Harrison Jr.
He had
- One less catch
- Only 114 yards fewer
- 3 less TDs
- A higher average YPC
- basically one fewer catch per game
- and less than 10 yards less average yards per game
How, sway?!?

I believe there's more than just one WR per level of teams. So, he got beat out by more than just Jones and harrison. So, others beat him with worse stats.Well......going by the stats, Marvin had slightly better numbers than Trey, so it's hard to see the disrespect here.
You could make a case that Trey's numbers came on a team where he was perhaps the ONLY dangerous weapon, and who had to make things happen for a QB under constant pressure, unlike Marvin at OSU. Or you could say Trey's third team honors were still noteworthy and will not discourage NFL scouts who make their own evaluations.

I don’t disagree, but a lot of his “boom or bust” was getting the ball to him. There were several play he was gonzo and the ball didn’t get there. There were other games he just didn’t get the ball period. Often QB had no time.I also think part of it was Trey was pretty boom or bust this year. I think that 4 game stretch where he only had 97 yards total hurt him a lot.

I thought I saw that Harrison had a streak of 90 some catches without a drop. Or something ridiculous like that. That'll do.
