USC wide receiver Jordan Addison is one of the top wideout prospects in a weak 2023 class, so he has a chance to be a first-round selection and should be taken no later than the early second round.
Addison has one of the most -- if not the most impressive production profiles among all draft-eligible wide receivers, and while his size might be a concern for some teams, smaller receivers have had success in recent years as NFL offenses continue to become more wide-open.
Let's dive into Addison's prospect profile and some potential landing spots.

Jordan Addison Career Review
As a freshman at Pittsburgh, Addison caught 60 passes for 666 yards and four touchdowns. It was a solid start for an 18-year-old freshman, but his real breakout campaign would come in his 2021 sophomore year. Catching passes for Kenny Pickett, Addison hauled in 100 balls for 1,593 yards and 17 receiving touchdowns. He won the Biletnikoff Award -- the top wideout in all of college football -- then transferred to USC to play with Caleb Williams for his junior season.
In his lone season as a Trojan, Addison caught 59 passes for 875 yards and eight touchdowns in 11 games. It wasn't quite the dominant season he had in 2021, but he still led the high-powered offense in catches, receiving yards, and touchdowns.
Addison's NFL Combine showing was disappointing. The 5'11", 171-pound receiver posted decent size-adjusted speed and agility scores, but his explosion testing left a lot to be desired, and he weighed in smaller than expected.
Addison's stock took a small hit after his athletics testing, but he's still considered a top-30 prospect according to MockDraftDataBase.com.
Which NFL Team Could Pick Addison?
Addison has met with several WR-needy teams picking in the late-first or early-second round. These teams include the Minnesota Vikings, Baltimore Ravens, New England Patriots, New York Giants, and Buffalo Bills.
Teams such as the Kansas City Chiefs, Indianapolis Colts, Los Angeles Rams, Green Bay Packers, and Tennessee Titans pick between No. 31 and No. 42 overall. Green Bay's No. 42 pick feels like the latest Addison could come off the board.
Ultimately, the options are endless for Addison since three-wide sets are more common than ever in today's NFL. Even teams with two stud receivers like the Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Eagles, and Los Angeles Chargers could be interested in taking a stab at a WR.
