Allow me to introduce Western Michigan Jnr WR Corey Davis.
He's 6-3 and 205lbs and had a 10-154 yard game against Michigan State this weekend. That's nothing new, for since his freshman days he has put up excellent numbers:
2013 (Fr) - 67-941-14.0 Avg - 6TDs
2014 (So) - 78-1408-18.1-15
Rotoviz call Davis a "Wunderkind":

Here he is going up against Michigan State in his Freshman year. He doesn't win everything but bear in mind, he's a Freshman going up against two future first round CBs in Darqueze Dennard and Trae Waynes. He is certainly demonstrating an ability to compete at that level and, of course, has improved since then.

Based on my research, one of the most important on-field stats for a receiver is the percentage of receiving yards they account for relative to their passing offense. For the talented Mr. Davis, in both his age 18 and age 19 season, he has gone over 35 percent market share of Western Michigan’s receiving yards. For reference, only 26 FBS receivers since 2005 have accomplished that feat before their age-20 season. Corey Davis has done it twice, joining fellow Phenom, Marquess Wilson, as the only players to do so in that time frame.
A quick look through this list would reveal a number of quality NFL receivers like Larry Fitzgerald, Julio Jones, Pierre Garçon, Keenan Allen, Hakeem Nicks and TY Hilton.
Corey Davis has twice accounted for 50 percent or more of his team’s passing touchdowns. He is the only player of the past decade to accomplish this feat (minimum 30 targets).
Probably the most amazing thing to me is that Corey Davis has accumulated so much raw production at such a young age. In fact, over the last decade, only Davis and Robert Woods have accounted for 2,000+ receiving yards and 20+ touchdowns before their age-20 season.
