Only 20 different TEs have had 55+ receptions in their second season...Troupe did it in just 15 games officially (really more like 14.)
Have a look at some of the HOFers on this list...
1 Chris Cooley te 2005 23 2 16 71 774 10.90 7 119.40 2 Ben Troupe te 2005 23 2 15 55 530 9.64 4 77.00 3 Antonio Gates te 2004 24 2 15 81 964 11.90 13 174.40 4 Jason Witten te 2004 22 2 16 87 980 11.26 6 134.00 5 Todd Heap te 2002 22 2 16 68 836 12.29 6 123.40 6 Jeremy Shockey te 2002 22 1 15 74 894 12.08 2 101.40 7 Tony Gonzalez te 1998 22 2 16 59 621 10.53 2 74.10 8 Freddie Jones te 1998 24 2 16 57 602 10.56 3 78.20 9 Keith Jackson te 1989 24 2 14 63 648 10.29 3 82.80 10 Keith Jackson te 1988 23 1 16 81 869 10.73 6 122.90 11 Mark Bavaro te 1986 23 2 16 66 1001 15.17 4 124.10 12 Joe Senser te 1981 25 2 16 79 1004 12.71 8 148.40 13 Dan Ross te 1980 23 2 16 56 724 12.93 4 96.40 14 Kellen Winslow te 1980 23 2 16 89 1290 14.49 9 183.00 15 Paul Coffman te 1979 23 2 16 56 711 12.70 4 95.10 16 Ozzie Newsome te 1979 23 2 16 55 781 14.20 9 132.70 17 Charle Young te 1974 23 2 14 63 696 11.05 3 87.60 18 Charle Young te 1973 22 1 14 55 854 15.53 6 121.40 19 Bob Tucker te 1971 26 2 12 59 791 13.41 4 103.10 20 Dave Parks te 1965 24 2 14 80 1344 16.80 12 206.40 21 Mike Ditka te 1962 23 2 14 58 904 15.59 5 120.40 22 Mike Ditka te 1961 22 1 14 56 1076 19.21 12 179.60 23 Dave Kocourek te 1961 24 2 14 55 1055 19.18 4 129.50Cooley, Gates, Witten and Shockey are in an even more elite class as they are part of a group of 8 to have 70+ receptions in years 1 or 2.Sure the comparisons are a bit skewed since offenses are throwing to their TEs in record numbers, nonetheless Troupe being taken as roughly the 13th TE off the board seems to present a bit of value.
In a recent "expert draft" Troupe was taken as the 110th player off the board in a 2ppr league for TEs.
