2023 NFL DRAFT: JORDAN ADDISON

By John Mesenbrink

USC (JR), WR

Just think, in 2021, during his sophomore season at Pitt, Jordan Addison was the nation’s top receiver, and he has the Biletnikoff Award hardware to prove it. An first-team AP All American, his magical sophomore season saw 100 receptions, 1,593 yards and 17 TDs. In 2022, he transferred to USC where he caught 59 balls for 875 yards and 8 TDs in 11 games. A consensus first round pick, he may turns some heads in the NFL sooner than later because all he does is produce.

Pluses:

• Athleticism
• Downfield speed
• High-volume target
• College resumé
• Solid route runner, bur excels in the slot

Concerns:

• Slight receiver (5’ 11”, 173 lbs.)
• Dropsies
• Small catch radius
• Struggles outside when pressed
