Trey Palmer set the bar for WR speed in the NFL last season

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Trey Palmer had the quickest burst of any NFL wide receiver as a rookie

When the Tampa Bay Buccaneers spent a sixth-round pick in the 2023 NFL draft on Nebraska wide receiver Trey Palmer, they were looking to add elite speed to their passing game.

That’s exactly what Palmer delivered, flashing his big-play ability throughout his rookie campaign, including an epic catch-and-run touchdown in the Bucs’ wild-card playoff win over the Philadelphia Eagles.

As it turns out, Palmer had the quickest burst of any wide receiver in the NFL last year, beating out big names like A.J. Brown and Tyreek Hill, according to Next Gen Stats.

Palmer should be even more productive in his second season and beyond for Tampa Bay.
