Devery Henderson's sophomore year was Curtis Johnson's first year... Henderson went from 22 catches, 343 yards, and 3 touchdowns in 2005 to 32 catches for 745 yards and 5 touchdowns in 2006. Jimmy Dickens sophomore year was a measly 99 receptions for 1,310 yards and 11 touchdowns.

Facts .

I don't have Cooks numbers readily available his 2nd season but you get the idea.

You're mostly citing second seasons following worser seasons. Meachem was not getting more looks until 2009. He did not do as well in 2010. Lance Moore had a good year in 2008, and was injured most of 2009. Colston also had injuries in his rookie season, but after 2007 he also missed games in 2008.
