Kenny had about 290 yards his freshman year.
Ace had a pretty good 1st year with 316 yards
Alshon had a great year as a freshman- a very rare thing. He was also a beast at 6'4" 230 pounds and based on his elite status, performed as good as fans expected him to - which is also rare.
Lecord had 315 yards as a freshman. His best year.
Ellington was quite different- he was already an experienced college athlete before stepping on the football field.

All of these WR saw the field during their freshman year on the team.
Also, I included Rice and Ellington even though it was their RS FR year because:
A) Rice had a knee injury in 2004 and Spurrier came in for 2005, which made it Rice's de facto true FR season, and
B) Ellington wasn't on the football team and played immediately upon joining from the b-ball team.
