The Buffalo Bills are set to meet with USC wide receiver Jordan Addison this week ahead of the 2023 NFL draft. Addison will add to the list of top collegiate wide receivers with whom Buffalo has been in contact.
Addison, a junior, caught 59 passes for 875 yards and eight touchdowns in his lone season in Southern California. Addison led the Trojans in receiving even though he missed multiple games due to an ankle injury. He also missed this year’s Cotton Bowl due to the injury.
Addison broke out in his sophomore season with Pitt, reeling in 100 passes for 1,573 receiving yards and 17 touchdown receptions. Addison won the Biletnikoff Award for his 2021 campaign. The Award is given to the nation’s top wide receiver.
While many mock drafts see Ohio State’s Jaxon Smith-Ngiba being the first wide receiver off the board, some have Addison following as the second-best receiving option. This could benefit the Bills, as Addison could be in play for Buffalo at No. 27.
Addison would give the Bills another stellar option on the offensive side of the ball. He is a great route-runner with massive yards-after-catch potential. Addison would fit in well opposite Stefon Diggs.

The Bills have done their homework with respect to meeting with wide receivers in this draft cycle. Buffalo has met with or reportedly will meet with possible early-round picks in Smith-Ngiba, Zay Flowers, Nathaniel Dell, and Jalin Hyatt.
