Summary
Jordan Addison, the 2021 Biletnikoff Award winner, has been a star at two schools in two years. The Pitt transfer shone in the Lincoln Riley USC offense in 2022. A dynamic route runner Addison uses quick and deceptive footwork to get massive separation. He understands how to manipulate defenders' leverage and possesses excellent spatial awareness. Addison’s quick twitch ability and creative thinking grants him a diverse release package and tremendous stems off of it. He also has wonderful body control and does a great job tracking and adjusting to the ball while it is in flight. Addison has sticky hands that attack the ball in the air both when on target and outside his radius. He did have a drop issue in 2021 at Pitt but seemed to clean that up this year (Drop Rate fell from 9.5% to 3.3%). Addison does have a thinner frame and has a tendency to get rerouted too easily. Largely a slot in 2021 he did show his quickness and foot speed allows him to thrive on the outside but does have a tendency to struggle vs press coverage. Longer physical corners can limit the amount of ground he gains on his releases and can impact the time of throws. An extremely light weigh in at the Combine raises concerns about his ability to hold up at the next level. Addison lacks top end speed and explosiveness and it limits the amount of YAC he generates, as well as raises questions about his big play ability at the next level. Jordan Addison is a highly advanced wide receiver with elite college production. Early in the draft process he was firmly in consideration for WR1 in this class due to his route running and ability to make difficult catches. Some teams may have questions about his long term ceiling due to some physical limitations but his floor is extremely high and skill set will translate Day 1.
