The Minnesota Vikings selected USC wide receiver Jordan Addison at 23rd overall. His selection makes him the direct replacement for Adam Thielen who signed with the Carolina Panthers this offseason.
He did visit TCO Performance Center on a top-30 visit and the Vikings told him on the way out the door that they were going to take him. In speaking with the media after the pick, Addison told reporters as such.
“They (Vikings) told me they were going to come grab me”
It makes sense with how Addison plays football. He is a very savvy receiver that just understands how to get open. He said this during the press conference.
“Make plays, catch the ball, score touchdowns.”
Get excited Vikings fans. Addison is here to ball.
