Jordan Addison

USC WR

Games Watched: Utah 2x, UCLA, Notre Dame

Summary: Jordan Addison may be on the smaller end but he is still a tremendous player. His ability to move defenders using subtle route running techniques combined with his ability to quickly change directions and speeds leaves him always open. He accelerates quickly and is dangerous with the ball in his hands. He can however, be slowed down at the stem of the route, and he won’t make tough catches with defenders draped over him.

Pros

  • Accelerates quickly
  • Phenomenal route runner
  • Manipulates defenders with his body movements
  • Can change speed and direction on a dime
  • Uses sudden movements to create separation
  • Tracks the ball well
  • Has the strength to break arm tackles
  • Great after the catch

Cons

  • Release package could create more separation
  • Slowed by physical defenders at the stem of the route
  • Can’t finish catches when defenders get their hands on the ball
  • Often slow to react to the snap

Grade: Jordan Addison gets a mid first round grade. His ability to naturally separate is deadly, and many offenses could use his skill set.
