2023 NFL Draft: Jordan Addison Scouting Report<\/h2>\n

Jordan Addison is an elite wide receiver from USC. Addison earned first-team All-Pac-12 honors as the best receiver in the conference. He was featured as the top receiver for one of the nation\u2019s most prolific offenses. The Trojan pass-catcher was the top target for eventual Heisman Trophy Winner Caleb Williams. Addison racked up 59 catches for 875 yards and eight scores while missing three games due to injury.<\/p>\n

Nation’s Best Receiver at Pittsburgh<\/h3>\n

Before Addison was torching Pac-12 defenses he was the nation\u2019s best receiver for the University of Pittsburgh. He earned the Biletnikoff Award as well as AP All-American wide receiver playing for the panthers. In his final season for Pittsburgh Addison tallied 100 receptions with 1,593 yards and 17 receiving touchdowns. The decorated receiver totaled 3,134 yards, 219 receptions, and 29 touchdowns playing for both the Panthers and the Trojans. His skills were on full display in several games in the Pac-12 this season. The star wideout torched UCLA with 11 catches and 178 yards and a touchdown. He showed up big in this rivalry which ultimately decided which team earned entry into the conference title game. Addison’s other big game was against Standford in week two. He went off with seven catches and 172 yards adding two scores to the final tally.<\/p>\n

Addison has his share of strengths as well as weaknesses. He is slightly undersized but has great skill and agility marking crisp route-running. He posted a 4.49 second 40-yard dash time. This sub-4.5 speed is enough to consider him a homerun candidate with break-away speed. While his athleticism typically leads to separation, he does not have a history of contested catches or competing for the ball like many NFL receivers before him. If this speedy wide receiver cannot establish separation he could struggle to make an impact and live up to the hype.<\/p>\n
