The Minnesota Vikings have found Justin Jefferson’s partner-in-crime.
With the 23rd overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, the Vikings selected USC wide receiver Jordan Addison.
Addison was the fourth consecutive wide receiver selected in the draft. The run on wide receivers began with the Seattle Seahawks, who picked Ohio State wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba with the 20th pick. The Los Angeles Chargers and Baltimore Ravens followed by selecting TCU’s Quentin Johnston and Boston College’s Zay Flowers, respectively.
Addison joins a receiver room headlined by Jefferson and KJ Osborn and will likely see a majority of the offensive snaps as a rookie.
Here are five reasons to get excited about Addison.
